This restaurant is really good! The only thing holding me back from giving 5 stars is the fact that it’s extremely overpriced. The taste of the food was great! We got the Veal Scallopini with fresh mushrooms. We wanted it over pasta and ravioli which I was told they normally do, however, they charged me for an extra side and there wasn’t much spaghetti. The service was exceptional Randy Z took great care of my table and made it a great time! I would highly AVOID the garlic bread it was $16 +tax for the most mediocre garlic bread I’ve ever had. We asked to get it with cheese and the cheese was awful. It tasted like Singles white American cheese which wasn’t even fully melted. The ambiance inside is very pleasing!

Why on Gods green earth won’t you reopen for lunch. Why not at least open for lunch on Fridays, like SF location does. There are so many people that can only make these hours! So many of them are locals that keep you in business! Why???????????
