The restaurant consistently offers exceptional cuisine. We opted for the bistecca, accompanied by a pasta dish and a chicken entree. The chicken was expertly prepared, resulting in a tender and delectable texture. We strongly recommend visiting this restaurant.

The food was delicious loved sitting inside or outside more quiet sitting outside if you want something with less noise. Highly recommend the salmon, bass, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and the Pizza’s loved the watermelon spicy Margarita.

We opted for “Greatest Hits,” overall, all courses were substantial. In terms of quality, superb. However, the chicken entree lacked in flavor. Great atmosphere and amazing service; will be returning.
