Came in on a Saturday evening with no reservation. The dining room was closed to walk-ins but we were able to sit immediately at a table of our choosing at the bar area. My husband and I got the bread service, chicken parm, and pizza con patate. Everything was really yummy. Bread came out hot. The pizza was garlicky and cheese. The chicken parm was tender and saucy. Definitely glad we chose to dine here.

We arrived at 7:15 for our 7:30 dinner reservation only to be told there was a 30 minute hold due to the kitchen being back up. We were offered a complimentary glass of wine for the wait. We were finally seated around 8:00 where we then waited another 45 min to an hour for the first course to arrive. There was a special menu being served for Valentine’s advertised at $160 per couple.The scallops and cheese board were the best part of the entire meal. We got our salad with little to no salad dressing and then waited another 45 minutes to get our “main course” which was a piece of filet approximately the size of a scallop and 3 asparagus wrapped in bacon served on a saucer and 2 pieces of ravioli. Not to mention the fish my mother in law ordered was not cooked. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the final course came which was 3 cheesecake bites the size of a quarter. For our party of 4 we payed $412 due to gratuities already being added. The price we paid for the food we received last night was a total rip off. I was embarrassed that I had recommended our family to dine there for Valentine’s Day.

Last night we had the most amazing experience! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large group, making every detail of the evening perfect. We truly enjoyed dining in the private room with our close friends and family. A special shoutout to Antoinette, who truly made our night unforgettable. Her attention to detail, warm personality, and incredible service are unmatched. She is such an asset to this restaurant, and we can't wait to come back and see her again! Oh, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal—every bite was soooooooo good. If you're looking for a place with amazing food and an even better team, this is it!

My husband and I went for the valentines special 4 course meal and had 7:15pm reservations. We were immediately told upon walking in that we could have a complimentary glass of wine at the bar while we wait til 8 to be seated as the kitchen was backed up. We waited. Then we were seated, did not get course 1 and two until about 40 minutes of sitting and by 9:35pm asked for the rest of the courses to go. The advertisement said $160 for two. Our bill was $210 as they add $30 gratuity in for mediocre service, bland food, TINY portions, and underwhelming atmosphere. This was the biggest waste of $200 I think we have ever spent. Not to mention the hair in my husbands steak….

I decided to try this place for lunch on a Friday. It was pretty empty with maybe 2 other tables being served. I got the pizza and it was pretty good. My server Laura (or was it Alaura) appeared to be the only wait staff there and she was very prompt and courteous and helpful . Overall it was a good experience and I may decide to take my wife here on date night.

Valentines 4 course meal was hands down the worst dining experience I’ve had in my entire life. Reservation was for 7:30, we weren’t seated until past 8:00. The only saving grace was the scallops (not great but the only decent thing we had all night.) Caesar salad was the worst I’ve ever had, straight up sandwich lettuce with stale croutons and literally not a drop of dressing on the salad. My steak was less than the size of my palm, way overcooked, with a side of three asparagus wrapped in bacon. My wife’s ravioli meal came with 2, yes 2, raviolis. Like normal sized raviolis. These entrees would’ve been tiny for the kids menu at any other restaurant. To top it off, the deserts were 100% from a grocery store, the cheesecake bites were reminiscent of cardboard. Seriously, seriously disappointed in this restaurant as I live close by and have been a regular for over 2 years now. What a shame Also this meal was advertised as $160 for 2 people, however once we got the bill the total was $210 plus $44 gratuity automatically added. So $254 for a garbage meal that I wouldn’t have paid $15 for if I knew what the quality was beforehand. Whoever runs/owns this restaurant is a crook and just scammed a lot of people out of a lot of money tonight.

Very Meh - I think the bruschetta was my favorite part everything else was unimpressive.

Dinner for two and we both got pasta dishes. The Italian salad was good, simple light and refreshing. The Cajun spicy pasta was sweet. The lobster shrimp pasta was underwhelming, they butchered the lobster tail. Severely overcooked and was served in bits, almost like it was chewed up but the most disappointing item was the margherita pizza. They served a flat bread but what shocked me most of all was the fact that it was old. Not freshly made at all, just reheated, old tomato slices, store bought flat bread and a sweet sauce. The “basil leaves” were so old it was unrecognizable. Overall terrible food experience however the server was lovely.
