We were served a beautiful dinner even after the power went out when the bomb cyclone hit. They did a fabulous job in the dark. We’ll never forget the experience.

Cozy dinner with exceptional service and absolutely delicious food. Every course was divine — had the seasonal salad (beets) and the sea bass special (so fresh) and finished with the limoncello gelato. Yum!

Every visit here is exceptional and that was true for this visit as well. The fish special was perfectly prepared; the caesar salad is ALWAYS a must get; and dessert of strawberry shortcake like dessert was perfect. Lucy was a great server, and had enthusiasm and a big smile on her face. The music was slightly loud when we arrived (we were tucked in a corner); when I asked for it to be turned down just a bit, it was promptly handled. I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!

We had dinner with another couple. Maya and Luis serviced our table. They were both friendly, knowledgeable and prompt to respond to any questions. We had the beef short rib ravioli special - it was rich and flavorful. My husband had the braised lamb shank special. Both dishes were exceptional for an autumn evening. For dessert, the cannoli was delish. We actually dined here for our August 8 wedding anniversary. We had a memorable evening with server Lucy This is a destination restaurant for the service and delicious food
