    First dined here on the recommendation of a friend. Our second experience was also outstanding. Wonderful food, service and ambiance. Will come again. If you are doing dinner and a theater they recommend making reservations a month out. They are fully booked for early dinner.

    Came in after the theater crowd had loved and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The Broadway a ground chickpea spread unbelievably good, the basic salad was anything but basic and perfectly dressed, and our entrées were particularly good. My wife had a margarita pizza and I had the rigatoni Bolognese.  I am very particular about Bolognese sauce, because so many restaurants do it poorly by simply adding ground beef to their basic red sauce. This is different. This is the real deal Bolognese sauce.  Rigatoni was done perfectly al dente. My only disappointment was at the menu is somewhat limited in choice.
