Best Lobster Ravioli’s! All of our food was amazing & waiter was awesome. The Lobster Ravioli is actual giant chunks of lobster in the best sauce (NOT the sweet sherry kind I usually don’t care for). Also loved instead of a usual limited kids menu of buttered noodles, they let them pick what they wanted on the adult menu in a smaller portion. We’ll be back! Only critique is to ask for a spoon to get it all.

Love this place. Food is great and staff are so kind and attentive. Not sure why they cram tables so close to door. I get wanting to maximize space but makes for an unpleasant experience on what would otherwise be so great.
