Absolutely Outstanding Dinner Experience! Our dinner was nothing short of amazing. The pasta dishes were hands down the best we’ve ever had—and that’s saying a lot! Every bite was full of flavor, cooked to perfection. The service elevated the whole experience. Our server, was exceptional—attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in making our evening special. He went above and beyond for our family and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. This place is a must-visit. Come eat here—you’ll love it

I had a nice dinner here. My server, Jordan, was great. Super friendly with good recommendations. I was dining solo and he made me feel very special. Even brought me a little candle on my dessert plate because it was my first time dining in the restaurant. Environment is large and loud especially in the bar. Side table was still 76 db so it’s not a romantic spot. Special cocktail, pear old fashioned, was very nice. A bit of spice with a sweet overtone. Red pepper linguine with scallops had a very nice flavor. Personally I’d do chicken instead of the scallops as chicken can handle the flavor better. Lemonetta dessert was good. Not too tart smooth with a nice crust.

Stopped in a week ago on a Tuesday night while my husband and I were both in town for work. Read the reviews & booked reservations on Open Table. Arrived at 6:15 an hour early and place was packed but they still seated us right away in a cozy booth by the fireplace. Terrific food and service. Appreciated the lighter portions so we could try more. Nice for a romantic dinner but also business group friendly and even works for families with pizza and small plate options. Would definitely return when in town again.

Great experience, food was prepared exceptionally well and quick. The dining room was full and like others have mentioned it was very loud. But I could hear conversation and it didn't really matter as I was stuffing my face with complimentary bread and the short rib! Definitely enjoyed myself abd will be back! The servicer was fabulous as well!

Two of us split the scallops and beef tenderloin appetizers. The beef was amazing. Highly recommend. Then we split the Heirloom salad and I added a salmon filet. Everything was done perfectly. Our waiter was fantastic, had great timing and worked to meet all of our requests. What else could you ask for.
