Great experience overall. There was a big wedding party, which caused service to be a bit slow and loud ambiance. Had an issue with drinks being weak and they fixed it with no issue. Also, steak was overcooked and they promptly fixed it. We had lasagna, fish, chicken Marsala, penne with meatball, steakhouse gnocchi, filet. All food was very flavorful. I would go again. Server, Fonz was very helpful and courteous.

Don’t go there. It’s terrible! Actually, it’s my favorite restaurant and always hard to get reservations so don’t go. LOL! I’m conflicted, I want to keep this place a secret, but here I am posting on their behalf. If you do go you won’t be disappointed and you will help support the students that work very hard to make your dining experience special.
