WAY Too noisy This used to be a quiet, intimate, high end dining experience Now it’s a bunch of LOUD people with bad many tables jammed into their space Clearly - quantity over quality The beed tenderloin was “marinated” with some sort of sauce that overwhelmed a great cut off beef Used to LOVE this place … been years since I went Wish I never came back Will not be returning

I appreciate your feedback and I am sorry you did not enjoy your visit. We have recently added in the last few months a lot of sound proofing throughout the restaurant from drapery to sound tiles which has helped immensely, are we completely noise free, no but i don't think that is possible at peak business . I did notice that you dine with us on a Saturday night at around 6pm, I would recommend if you prefer to have quitter time please visit more towards the 4pm to 5pm times.

This has been our local go-to place for sometime now. We have never had a bad meal here. The place has been modernized with nice floors and more than expanded bar as you can Meyer. Looks really nice. I think that all of hey are waiting for is some additional ceiling acoustical tiles. The noise lev l seems to have improved with time he new ownership. From a wonderful smoked Gouda or calamari to to the chicken parm, the wonderful stuffed pork chop to deserts of crème brûlée and a glass of Merlot the meal lived up to our meal for six’s high standards. The wait staff was excellent and attentive and made sure that one of our guest’s allergies was properly accommodated during dinner preparation. Oh, and did I forget to mention that on a rainy night there was complimentary valet parking and we were never rushed to leave as we sat around to catch up with each other. Overall we were very pleased and will return yet again soon.
