    We arrived at 5:45 on a Friday evening for an early dinner, having made the reservation more than a week in advance. We were seated in the same room as a wedding party. It was so loud that we could barely hear the wait staff. When I went back to the hostess to express our concern, I was told half of the dining room was for a private party, but the other half was for diners with reservations. There’s no partition or any other structure to separate the two halves, so we had to watch and listen while the couple stuffed wedding cake in each other’s mouths and their friends roared in delight. The meal was good. We were perplexed that having pasta with chicken Parmesan was a $5 up charge. There was a mix up with our bill. We were happy to leave once it was resolved and are not sure we will ever return.

    We LOVED the food. But there was live music and we could not hear ourselves talking. Destroyed the evening for us. The music was too loud and amateurish.

    As restaurant experiences go, this was one of our best of 2024. We came to the area for one evening and had been to this establishment under the prior owners a few years back. Your staff took it to another level and literally knocked it out of the park. Nikko served as both our bar tender and server and was outstanding. We are from Long Island and plan to return real soon. Bravo for an outstanding dining experience.
