    Professional yet friendly service delivered by Danny. Tasty grilled polenta and arancini apps followed by delicious braised short ribs over pasta, and sausage and broccoli rabe over rigatoni. Dinner was capped off with cappuccinos, bread pudding and apple cake with a personal touch lit candle honoring my daughter’s birthday. Great experience, service, food, ambiance makes Tisha’s one of my favorite fine dining spots.

    Petunia is a great place to get into the holiday spirit, cozy and well decorated. Perfect place for 2 or more. The baked brie is a delectable starter to share followed by the wedge. My venison pappardelle was perfection, the meat was so tender and the pappardelle melted in with the flavors of the venison was just perfect. I usually take half of my dinner home, but not this dish - all was enjoyed with not a leftover. My guest had the spaghetti and meatballs, I think there are better options on the homemade pasta menu, but he enjoyed it very much. We ended with a cannoli and French press coffee - it was a 5 star dining experience....
