    First time at this restaurant--had a very nice Christmas Eve dinner, sat outside. The Carpaccio was outstanding--best we've ever had. They also have a very tasty dip for the bread. Service was very quick, perhaps because we were a party of two at a four-top. Our meals came out well before those of others who were there before us and had many more people. We liked that! Anytime you can dine at a nice restaurant in less than an hour is ideal.

    We will never return to a restaurant that will not accommodate a 90 year old man. He ordered the clams and linguini, but he has problems with the shells. So I asked the waiter if the chef could shell them for him, which would take maybe 10 seconds. The waiter came back and said the chef was too busy and couldn't do it!! Jonny Costsa, SammyGs, they had no problem doing it!!! We will continue to support all other restaurants in this valley except this one. We are locals and will try to keep all our friends out of this awful restaurant. Stay away !!!!

    Although the food was very good, the service was very uneven and we waited a very long time for our food, water refills and the check. The server also referred to me as 'honey' and even though I asked for the check, he brought it to the only man at the table.
