The BEST part of our evening was Logan taking care of us! Like always we loved the meatball appetizer & bolognese to share. I loved my grilled branzino, my son loved the chicken parm & my daughter loved her short ribs. Only downside was the scallops were a little fishy. Overall a great experience!

Celebrated an anniversary. The food and service were excellent! They accommodated our request for a booth and even brought us a surprise dessert. It was a very busy night with people celebrating the Christmas holidays but the staff were still very attentive and professional!
