Nice ambiance and good location. The service was excellent and prices not bad for an upscale restaurant. The appetizers and 3 of 4 mains were excellent. The Lasagna did leave a bit to be desired, it felt like a pile instead of a layered dish. Overall it was very good and I plan to return.

The food was great, cooked just right, especially the filet. The sweet potato casserole is just the best and the clam stack was surprisingly good start to the menu. We really enjoyed the dinner to celebrate the birthday of my wife.

Our server was beyond amazing. She was cheerful, informative, professional, and took initiative to make sure our order arrived with enough time to leave for our show following dinner. Additionally, all of the dishes (and beverages) we ordered were absolutely fantastic. It’s clear this restaurant knows what it’s doing, has good leadership, and the staff is happy. We’ll done, guys 👏
