- PHPaul HarrisNov 9, 20255.0It was one of my sister's 40th wedding anniversary.. The place is very small and posh.. outstanding food and outstanding weight staff..
- NSNicole SOct 17, 20255.0Cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Able and willing to alter menu slightly even though I was there for a private event with set menu.
- GCGlow CSep 30, 20255.0Amazing place and Excellent service! Cristopher was outstanding. We would drive from New York to have him help us again. Just Perfect!
- PFPhilip FiorettiSep 16, 20251.0Walked into the bartender yelling over a full bar to help us. No host. Server brought us over to the table, took our order, and the only other times she came over was to bring out the food. Another server had to get our check. Food was extremely bland, no seasoning. Rice and vegetables with the sole Milanese were beyond bland and the veggies were certainly frozen. The Milanese itself was decent texture wise but again no seasoning, just begging for salt. Shrimp tempura was 21 dollars for three shrimp over a giant salad. Caesar salad had no seasoning and whoever cut it couldn’t even take out the core. Thai calamari was soggy, who would’ve thought, tossing a crispy fried dish is a thick wet sauce would ruin it? Penne vodka was garlicky beyond belief and the sauce was too thin to stick to the pasta. Was super excited to try a new place with some family coming to town and disappointed is an understatement. If you want to impress someone, don’t go here. Only good part was the wine, usually don’t leave reviews but this was especially bad. I don’t mind paying up for food if the quality matches, but I just got scammed.
- STSandra TerebesiSep 4, 20255.0This is one of our favorite restaurants. Service, food, atmosphere are the best. The staff are so nice friendly happy and always willing to help to make your dining experience wonderful. It’s a must to try this restaurant out. Also a little hint their bread is amazing and be sure to save room for their banana crape and ice cream to die for. Just an excellent restaurant.
