     Food was excellent service was nothing special, but it will say the dress code should be somewhat enforced or should be created of a somewhat light dress casual or business casual for this type of environment. People with hoodies and sweatshirts. I get peoples money is Greene but if you’re paying that type of money, a little bit of class should be Warranted in the establishment

    The food was good. We had a party of 4. In all we had 5 meals. We wanted to have the homemade gnocchi to share as an appetizer, but they ended up not having it. We ended up sharing the lobster ravioli, which was good. For our entrees we had the seafood risotto, which was excellent, the cod special (which was good but very small piece of fish), chicken dish and the yellowfin tuna special (was just ok). Overall, we had a nice time and will go back if in the area
