    The fried cauliflower is great. It’s lightly fried and the sauce balances out the dish. We also tried the calamari dish which was one of the specials and was delightfully good. Their pizza is consistently delicious. Crust is crispy and holds up to the toppings. Would highly recommend this place.

    This is an upscaled price restaurant with excellent food. Opportunities for aligning ambiance and service with the quality of food and prices that were noted: 1/ a cocktail in an upscale restaurant should not have a cheap maraschino cherry. Small detail and big impact. 2/ Overall the decor is pleasant but the bare wood table feels worn and dated. 3/ Pacing the meal or asking diners how they wish to pace the meal would better align with an upscale establishment, i.e. do not serve appetizer while diners are still drinking cocktail, ask for transition to wine selection before serving entree, wait for wine to be consumed prior to offering dessert (or at least check in if customers are ready for dessert menu). 4/ While I prefer fewer food choices, the dessert menu has the opportunity to have better selection.
