    We had a reservation at 8:00 pm with a party of 9 on the night before Thanksgiving and were seated promptly—by that hour the restaurant was not crowded. Our server was very attentive and handled our large mixed-age group well. Once we’d ordered, our food came out promptly. On the whole, we were quite happy with the quality of the food, though one in our party found the chicken to be without much flavor (though they said the pasta and sauce were excellent). The Tuscan Ravioli was particularly good. Not an outstanding meal, but good food at reasonable prices with excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere for our large group.

    This was our first time, and we loved the atmosphere, the food and the service. Arriving at 6PM on a Monday we got a table for three at the window, expecting a "quiet" dinner but the restaurant soon filled with several larger parties, no doubt because of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. It got a little noisy, but not enough to distract from a nice evening with a great meal and service. Gluten free options were available, and there was nothing left on anyone's plate when we were leaving.
