This is one of our favorite restaurants. We were seated in a booth, as requested, immediately and greeted by our favorite server Peggy. The food is always delicious. I had the halibut special, and my husband had the wonderful barbecued ribs. We shared the lobster arancini appetizer, which had a scrumptious lobster sauce accompaniment. Portions are very large, so we always leave with a takeout bag for a later serving. We will be back soon!

This was a very lovely, special occasion restaurant. We each had the kale salad. My husband had the tuna and said it was the best tuna he ever had. The spumoni was our outstanding dessert.

Excellent server. My halibut was tasty, but overdone and mushy. Served with a side of salad on the plate for some strange reason. Branzino also overdone. Good martinis- could have been colder.

Stefani Prime warms up a late winter snowy night. Nothing better than a great drink, short rib ravioli and Pedro as our server. 10 out of 10!

Ask for Carmen. She is great, nice sense of humor, very attentive and she always has the same set of tables in a quiet part of the restaurant. The rest of the restaurant can get quite noisy.
