    OMG unbelievable. Wife and I had two friends had a night to remember. I was only one that had been there. Started with lemon Martini and a rum and coke which were superior. Rock Shrimp, toasted cheese ravioli and the meatball Martini as appetizers were cooked to perfection. Caleb our server was so entertaining we should have paid a fee for his knowledge and quick wit. Will ask for his area when go back. The four entrees were so good each of us could have wanted the others. Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken, the Halibut with incredible mashed potatoes, rigatoni with sausage and the filets on a pasta were to die for. We were so full, but I told them the best was yet to come. Dessert was cannoli that was so smooth and the Chocolate Budino was the icing on the cake to finish the night. Caleb and his helper were spectacular. Thanks for making the wife and my friends very happy!!!

    Went here to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The food was all really yummy, but our server Gregory was really nice. He remembered our names after checking our IDs, and was very friendly and helpful. My boyfriend also got a complimentary ice cream for his birthday. They were amazing at refilling our waters. Would definitely come back again.

    The food wait time is the only thing some people might be turned off by but, the food makes it well worth the wait. The staff is also very attentive and always moving ready to fill glasses. Definitely should go give it a try!

    Everything we had was Delicious! The Clsms with Sauce on the pasta was enough for a second serving at home. My husband loved his Salmon Dish. The Purple Carnation for Mother’s Day still looks Beautiful today!

    It was fun, family friendly. The food was good, the drinks were just okay. I was not that impressed with the salads. Drenched in dressing. It was very loud. My steak and gnocchi was delicious.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our "3 hour meal" with our waiter, Gregory! Sorry but he's our favorite! Food was outstanding.... there were a couple of things that weren't, and Gregory made sure it was. Most popular dish is the gnocchi and steak! Definitely our most frequented restaurant.
