I was hesitant at first with this being attached to a hotel, but the food was exquisite--perfect for a date night or an above average cost for dinner. The burrata was out of this world and the lobster roll had a hidden mayo/lemon combo that had me tossing up my hands with excitement. My wife had the Salmon over a pumpkin and curry squash that was EASILY the star of the show. We both left planning for when we could make the drive back for another meal. Highly recommended.

Great serving sizes at a very reasonable price point. Whipped ricotta was delicous, and the bread that it comes with was so good (and they give you so much). I had the Carbonara, great flavor and a good amount of pancetta. Wife had the Chicken Parm, she loved it. Ambiance is great, love the decor and the bar is very classy. Good wine selection at a good price point. My wife and I got 2 apps and an entree each. I had a martini and 2 glasses of wine. Tab was $140, great value. Waitress was very helpful, talked us out of ordering too many apps because we were unaware how large the serving sizes were!
