A table for 10, yes, we made the noise. Nothing to say. Everyone was great and were careful about allergies. Food was good, hot and tasty. I have to say something though. I asked for a Cesar Salad with chicken. I expected more salad and capers and real chicken. It really looked like processed chicken fashioned as a breast. Jason D gave was patient, attentive and courteous. Explained the specials on the menu and service was super. I hope I get him next time I go visit you again.

I have to start by how amazing our server, Marie P was. I have not had such an attentive and nice server in years. Her recommendation on the food and drinks were on point. The Lychee Martini is really good! We ordered 2 meals and 2 apps for 3 people and it was more than enough. The restaurant was hopping, and had a constant turn over. Our party of 3 are all on the older side, yet the noise and music level was not too bothering us. I recommend the lasagna!
