    Service was horrendous. Slow and server was never to be seen. Food was mediocre. Will be removing this one off our dining list.

    The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. It took over 15–20 minutes to receive our cocktails before dinner, and we had to ask other servers for assistance twice. We ordered wine with our meal, but halfway through dinner it still hadn’t arrived—I had to go to the bar and ask for it, even though it was ready there. Our waitress explained that the restaurant was short four servers, and it seemed she was focusing more on a table of eight while we were a table of five.

    Unknowingly we arrived before happy hour ended so we took advantage of it! Tried 3 apps and all were delicious. Our cocktails were terrific. The Rigatoni was wonderful as was the beef carpaccio. Very lemony rather than heavy on balsamic. We also tried the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled salmon. The sauce was a bit runny but flavor was delish. The salmon came in bite size pieces mixed in to the pasta and it was very good. Happy hour is 4-5:30. We will definitely go again and soon!

    Very good food, fairly priced. The extensive wine list, too. The menu has variety and everything is so well prepared. And the pizza is to die for.
