    The staff was very attentive and the food was presented beautifully and was equally as delicious. Our group was there for a birthday lunch and our server went out of his way to serve our birthday girl mochi ice cream with a flower and birthday sign on the plate. It was a very kind extra step that none of us were expecting.

    Thoroughly enjoyed everything. We had the beet salad with grilled chicken, eggplant stack, spaghetti and meatballs, veal parm with a side of fettuccine Alfredo, and the poached pear salad with grilled salmon. The red wine the waiter suggested was really good too. The burolo. The people that work there could not be nicer! Definitely recommend
