The food was very good, salad, calamari and pizza. Our waitress was exceptional checked on us and responded well to our requests. The room we were in was a little tight, difficult for people to sit down get coats on and off.

We have a reservation and placed our pizza order hours before arriving. They sat us right by the entrance in the larger room which pelted us with cold outdoor air. We sat next to the largest party in the entire restaurant and had to yell just to talk to the person sitting next to me. The server took 25 minutes to take our order and the food took another 35 even though we were told 15. The drinks were small and not worth it. Worst of all, my wife's pizza came out cold....on her birthday! It had most likely been sitting most of that time while the others were being prepared. Honestly the worst dining experience I've ever had. I will not be returning and might not ever order lous again.
