    Waited over 30 minutes for a table, WITH. A reservation. Drinks from the bar were slow, a side didn’t come out, and the waitress forgot to put in a cocktail order. She took the side off the bill, brought us pistachio ice cream complimentary. Everything was yummy, the ambiance great, and enjoyable despite it feeling a bit clumsy

    Second time I visit, no regrets at all. Everything we ate from the Thanksgiving special menu was second to none. From the Bruschetta to the Risotto and then from the Polenta Rib to the Agnolotti. To finish? the amazing Pecan Dessert and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Solid 9.90. WIll be back soon.
