Food is always good, getting a bit pricey. Service has deteriorated over the past 20 years. I was waiting for about 10 minutes for someone to come over and take a drink order and then waited another 10 for drink to arrive. It was difficult to get the waiters attention and at one point, I needed to get up and go over to him and ask for some service.

Food and service very good. A little mix up over the bill, but they fixed it. All in all, a very nice evening out for dinner with friends.

I love this place, it’s charming, the service is great, the food is delicious. But again I must note that the portions are tiny and expensive. $42 for 3 large shrimps in the shrimp scampi is absurd.
