    The place was beautiful, the food was really great and our server was wonderful. My only issue is that we made an 8pm reservation for outside. When we arrived they said we had to wait a few min, which was about 10min. And then they took us to a table that was inside, right infront of the entrance. I complained because we made an outdoor reservation months ago and they said that it would be another 20-30 min wait to sit outside. We couldn’t wait that long as we had other plans afterwards so I was dissapointed in that. Otherwise very good experience and nice place

    I ordered the lasagna. It looked like I was served bits and pieces rather than an anticipated layered sheet of noodles and fillings in between, so covered in extra cheese resulting in about 60% of the entree consisted of cheese. I should have sent it back to the kitchen….my bad for not doing so. Nicole was an excellent staff member. The artichoke appetizer and donut tree dessert were excellent as was the enhanced salmon entree.

    We sat in the patio for the first time. The weather was perfect for a covered outdoor patio. We enjoyed it. The food was great as always. The service is always good.

    Grilled Octopus app was amazing. The Swordfish Milanese was also a home run. Pizza was solid....however, the ceviche was not flavorful. Don't get that. Great place for drinks...ton of energy.

    Amazing! Everything was perfect for celebrating our wedding anniversary, from valet, check in, music, food, ambience, and more. My husband had a kale salad with blackened salmon and I had the catch of the day (mahi mahi) prepared the same way with a Greek salad on the side. The waiter even brought us a flaming donut tree which was a special treat. Wednesdays are ladies nights so there are free bubbly drinks for women at the bar and lounge.
