    We were seated promptly by a very friendly hostess . Our server was Stephan, who was fantastic, very professional and attentive!! We started with escargot and Oysters Rockefeller, both of which were excellent. We then had a steak and lobster, accompanied by pasta, again all of which was excellent. These were served with a fresh salad that was topped by bits of fresh cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes. Desert was lemoncello cake also recommended. Whole dining experience was excellent and highly recommended!!

    This isn’t the vibe, also very dirty, you can tell they don’t pay attention to detail. Painted over outlets?? Are you kidding me.

    The service and staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The venue was nice and clean and sizeable for our large party. I don't love leaving bad reviews especially for places that were not terrible and so warmly welcoming, but the food here was disappointing at best. This was very american italian food, and while the portions were beyond generous the dishes were confusing and not super appetizing. Some items were good/great such as the salmon, and the rigatoni with vodka sauce, the steaks were well cooked, however the salads and appetizers were all underwhelming and not delicious. The bruschetta is basically just garlic bread with like 2 cherry tomatoes sprinkled on top and all the regular salads come with a lot of raw mushrooms on top. If you are going to dine here maybe ask the server for recommendations of the most popular items.

    We were disappointed about the menu. When we got there they told us there was a set menu, that was not posted before booking. The owner came over and said i could order an item off the set menu which i appreciated. However I had to send it back because the sword fish was extremely dry. You didn't get to choose a side with your menu, we were given some mushy mixed veggies. Was not impressed. However 5 stars to the bartender. The margaritas were amazing.

    Presentation was nice. Ordered eggplant parm. I saw sliced yellow squash, not breaded, but no eggplant. Covered in sauce then baked with cheese. Tasted ok just not what I was expecting when ordering this familiar dish with eggplant in its name.

    They ran out of bread, didn’t have the wine we selected and no lids for take out! Service was fair. Won’t be going back!
