Great food. Service was pretty good, waited around here and there for service. Wasn't particularly busy that evening. Atmosphere was great, so didnt really take away a lot from the experience. Food came pretty quick. Overall it was a good experience.

Christmas dinner was amazing! I had pork chop which were tasty and tender, just perfect. Attention was also paid to the mashed potatoes and broccolini. This would be my death row meal. My mom ordered the chicken limone . It too was absolutely delicious. Apologies for the mostly eaten pictures.

Went on christmas and server was the worst. She did not give us straws even when we asked several times. She did not give us napkins even when we asked several times. She would only get half the table drinks while the others had to deal with water and not order a drink. She took forever to take our order. Not everyone at the table got their food at the same time. I wouldn't complain but that same server was going to other tables more than us. Portions were extremely small compared to price. Very upsetting time for first time.

We made Christmas Day reservations and all arrived promptly and were seated accordingly. The trouble started when after 10 minutes of being seated at our table, our server stopped by and said it would be just a minute and she would be with us. Another 10 minutes passed before we saw her. We ordered our drinks appetizer salad and entrees as we had plenty of time to decide. Our appetizer arrived then our salads and finally our drinks. We never received any appetizer plates. Our entrees arrived while most of us still had half or more than half of our salads left to eat. My pork chops were dropped off, and I was told that he would return with a steak knife, which never arrived. We then had to wait for the server to come by so I could then ask for a steak night as well as bread that we never received. We still did not receive any bread/appetizer plates. But once we ask for boxes for our food, the server was quick to take the payment and try to bus our table while we were still sitting there. While our entire table understands Christmas is a busy time for restaurants that are open, based on this experience I doubt we will return.

Food was ok, although my pasta came without the pancetta which was a main component. Service was horrible. Waited 10 min before waiter came to table and we had to ask for bread multiple times before we received any. Never received bread or appetizer plates. Waiter forgot the soup and we had had to remind him of sodas and to refill our water. Check came with soup ( never served) and fries ( never ordered) This was our first and last time we will go, very disappointed.
