Everything we ordered Short Rib Pasta, Pesto Shrimp and Pasta, Eggplant, Sea Bass, a shared board with bruschetta was well presented and tasted amazing. The staff was friendly and attentive from beginning to end. So glad I took a coworker's recommendation. Our friends were glad as well and are looking forward to returning.

The minute we walked in Luis (ended up being our waiter) remembered us and greeted us. When our friends arrived, he seated them with us. The meal was wonderful as always. We shared the mussels, and crispy shrimp. Two of us had the Cioppino, one had lasagna, the other Sea Bass and both couples ordered the apple crisp. The meal was fabulous. The wine list is always great with wines in whatever price point you want. 5 Stars again.
