Always excellent, never a bad meal or experience. Staff is outstanding. One of our favorite spots in our area. Try their new place in Brewster, NY as well, The Arch. We have been going to The Arch for 40 years and love Geroge and Dee. They will be missed. However, we went after they sold, and the new owners are following in George's footsteps. Food was great and the staff very attentive and friendly. Noth places are recommended highly.

Best restaurant in the area! Been coming for many years and never had a bad meal. Love the Caesar salad made at your table. Our party of 4 had: Branzino, Chicken Parm, Veal Chop Parm and Shrimp Scampi. All of us finished every bite or our meals. Delicious! Thank you for a wonderful evening! See you again soon!

Standard Italian menu. Food was satisfactory, but nothing special. My wife and I were hoping for something more upscale.

Food is absolutely amazing each time ago. My only complaint is that there is a complete lack of ambience. The restaurant doesn’t feel warm and inviting and the sound level and and choice of music does not add anything to create a more appealing environment.
