    We got drinks before dinner at the bar. I recommend The Red Stilleto. We ordered all appetizers instead of entrees. The large seafood tower was good. Shrimp cocktail, with large shrimp, raw oysters, raw tuna, Cajun scallops. Then we got the charcuterie board. Sopressetta, cheeses, olives, two dips, we got oysters Rockefeller, lump crab cakes and fried calamari. They have baby chibatta breads with butter. Our waiter was awesome. Shout out to Nicholas! Was an awesome date night. The piano was a nice addition to the ambiance. Low lighting, quiet, elegant. My husband wore black slacks and a cable knit sweater, I wore a sweater dress with boots. Loved it. Will be back.

    We were taken 15 minutes before our reservation which is a plus, but did not get a standard table as we requested in open table. (Just getting that out of the way so that the hostess can double check as patrons come in) Now, the server, the well managed staff and the manager were all very hands on and were very social. The server checked in often and the manager thanked us for coming. We started the meal with a cup of their famous Chicken Paprikash Soup. It did not disappoint. Finding good short ribs on menus is a bonus. They were exactly as described on the menu, the portion was adequate, they were fork tender and overall plain delicious. The Salmon was pan seared medium as requested and also amazing. The food came out in an adequate amount of time and it was hot! We were extremely impressed and will be quick to visit again, especially since it is in the neighborhood.

    We had a really good server ( forgot her name though) she was awesome ! Food and specialty drinks were very good. I might say the portion of the food for the price was small. Also, there were only 2 dessert choices ( maybe because it was my free bday offering) but the affogoto was not for me - very very bitter. My friend didn't like it either. The other option was a cornbread cake. Not that it was bad, but for dessert I would have preferred something else. We sat near the kitchen which is always a noisy place to sit. The ambiance and the quality of the food was good.
