    It started off with the gracious hostess validating our parking, seating us and wishing us a happy anniversary. Mark was our server. He was thoughtful, helpful and attentive. The music was a plus. It maybe a little loud but being able to sit close to one another was romantic and help muffle the sound. We shared a delicious caprese salad, filet was cooked perfect with bleu cheese butter sauce, delicious scallops and decadent duck fat crusted potatoes. The tiramisu was excellent and the bananas foster gelato was okay. Perfect way to celebrate our 47th anniversary.

    Everything was outstanding! Our waiter was so helpful and so accommodating! The meatballs were delicious! We wanted to try several things so our server, Jay, suggested ordering a few things to be able to taste it all! Best idea EVER! Everything we ordered, from the drinks, appetizers, main course to desserts was fantastic! Worth every penny!

    The food was amazing, highly recommend the broccolini….. just wow… The server was very knowledgeable in all the dishes and made some great recommendations. The food was very fast, I did wish they spaced it out a bit more. As we got to dessert and still had our glass of wine to finish. The atmosphere was also very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend, overall great experience and great food.
