We had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner. They were so kind and were able to accommodate our need to add a person to our reservation. We love their fried zucchini and calamari. Their braised short ribs and prime rib were a hit! The staff was awesome and so nice.

The restaurant was nearly empty on a Saturday evening at 7 pm. That's hard to explain, because the service was attentive and efficient and the food was excellent. The prices are a little high, but the entrees were plentiful and served hot. We'll certainly return.
