    The food is consistently good here with a great varied menu. Cocktails were delightful. We were especially impressed with the service this visit. Our French fries were undercooked so our server, Collin, immediately replaced them with crispy ones! The manager even appeared to check that we were satisfied. What service!

    The drinks arrived after we were already half way through our appetizers. The cornbread and risotto were bland. One of the entrees arrived 10 minutes after the others were already brought to the table. Didn’t clear appetizer dishes before or after entrees arrived. Overall, it was not a good experience.

    The waiter was not attentive. He took our order and we never saw him again until he brought the dessert menu. The bussers were great and I had to ask them for pepper for my salad. No one checked to see if our food was okay. Our meals we very good. We ordered the triple gelato for dessert. On a scale of 1 to 10 it was a minus 5. The gelato was melted and runny and unedible. We may the restaurant again but service is what they offer and ours was lacking. I definately would not order the dessert again and if this was our waiter I would ask for someone else. Harvey S-
