    This was the first visit since the remodel and they did a lovely job of keeping the familiar along with updating some areas. The food and service was excellent as always. And always difficult to make a choice on what to eat due to variety of choices, all good. And the white chocolate bread pudding is just the best...

    I went there with a friend to congratulate her on her new job. Our server was very courteous and attentive and our meal of the rib eye steak, petrale sole, and bananas foster bread pudding was perfectly cooked and delicious along with 2 margaritas and a glass of moscato! While the food was delicious, the price tag was on the high end at $176 before the tip.

    We really enjoyed our meal. The food was great, very good service. Enjoyed the "back room", which made you feel as though you were sitting in a street scene in Italy. In addition to the great menu, they had several specials, and special seasonal cocktails. Would definitely go back. Just note, the front doesn't look that inviting, (in addition to the street construction), but when you go to the rear of the restaurant, it is quite charming.
