    The ambience was nice and cozy. We had reservations for high top table because that’s all they had. when we got to the restaurant the manager asked if we wanted standard seating. I was happy that they were able to accommodate us. I will recommend the place to others and I will go back soon.

    James was our server--very attentive and personable. Chicken Parmesan was delicious. My daughter loved the bread pudding and home fries. My only regret was the cappuccino--the waitress said she made it herself and it tasted like barbecue sauce (not good).

    Appetizer was burnt and my son’s steak was overcooked. We complained about the steak and our appetizer was comped but I feel like if you’re gonna pay $40+ for a steak it should be done right, at least the way you want it.

    Met friends for dinner - all were quite pleased with their entree - chicken marsala, short rib Bolognese, parmesan cod on a bed of risotto. Seating was comfortable; however, room was quite loud (note 20 high ceiling no doubt contributed to this) and hearing someone across the table was very difficult. That being said, the service was attentive, and the food portions and taste were superb.

    Food was so good and they were great about a gluten allergy in our party.
