John was amazing as our server- everything was delicious and timed out perfectly. No rushing us, no pressure. Pastas were excellent, white fish was fresh and tasty, and the triple chocolate dessert was superb!

Make sure to go in with an idea of what you want to eat and drink. Once the waiter initially greets you it’ll be a while to until they are back. Busy restaurant but a bit more staff would solve this. Good cooks in the back and delicious food, portions have good value.

The food was good but our waiter was beyond awful - completely rushed us through the entire dinner - our entrees were served halfway through our salads and NEVER checked back with us until we were done - and only then did he ask if we wanted another bottle of wine . And if you employ a waiter that has such a unintelligible accent please have the nightly specials written down - such a shame that what was supposed to be an relaxing enjoyable night out with friends was ruined by this waiter - never again
