    I had thr chicken, the prices are higher then the last time we went, a few years ago. The chicken was fine, but I should have gotten the trout. Creme Brûlée was not freshly torched, right out of the refrigerator.......ok not great, better when warmed up a little.

    Great place, great location, great food & superb service! The only negative is that it’s a spec building so the acoustics are HORRIBLE! The super high open ceiling without any sound insulation makes it super loud. The one in Annapolis (Parole Town Center) doesn’t suffer from this poor acoustics problem. Delightful dinner experience - just needs sound work 😃

    We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.

    We were celebrating a birthday and this restaurant was just perfect. The ambiance was inviting and the staff were top notch. Professional yet unobtrusive. Michael was our server and he was great. Knowledgable and friendly. We will definitely be back for another dining experience. PS: the complementary birthday dessert was very tasty!
