   Service was excellent. Food portions were large but expensive. Most of the food served was extremely salty. There was way too much salt and I usually have to add salt to my food. The food was served hot which was excellent. The calamari was very tender and crispy, but too salty. We split a wedge salad which was very good. My husband’s prime rib was cooked perfectly and did not have too much seasoning It was perfect. I had the pesce over risotto in a wine garlic sauce. The rice was literally drowning in all the sauce. That also was very salty. We had cheesecake and gelato for dessert. Both were excellent. The noise level was extremely loud. If you’re looking for a place for a quiet dinner, this is not it. The servers were very attentive and helpful. I’m not sure if I would go back. I really couldn’t enjoy my dinner due to over seasoning.

   We arrived early had a drink at the main bar the old fashion and sangria were outstanding. We were seated by the owner and it was extremely busy and he checked in on us again at the end of the meal. Our server Courtney was attentive and engaging all of our dining needs were met well above expectations. High quality food and huge portions. We are definitely returning.

    We had an early reservation as we were attending a show at the Count Basie Theatre next door. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. He paced our appetizer and entree out so we were not rushed. There was a mistake with one of the meals and it came out quite late compared to the others. They did make up for it by comping 2 desserts and our coffee. They did help us celebrate a birthday with one of those big sparklers, which was nice. Everyone raved about the food, and we will probably return again when in the area.
