We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.

Our server Trevor was super attentive and our glasses were never empty! The food was wonderful, my brother said the 12 inch mozzarella stick was the best mozzarella stick he’s ever had. Highly recommend the veggie antipasto and the steak frites, definitely the perfect Christmas Dinner!
