Terrific food. The fried calamari and lobster fra diavolo were ao delicious. I realized that the waitress didn’t provide us with any complimentary bread, which would be a great addition to the pasta. Only found it after seeing other tables had the bread. This branch accepts credit cards so it’s convenient. Overall it was a great experience.

Overall, food and service were VERY good. Excellent view. Very nicely decorated for Christmas. Only drawback was the noise. A bit loud. Hard walls and ceilings throughout. I’ll definitely be back. Lots of good things on the menu. Maybe I’ll try eating at the bar.
