    We went back to try again for valentine's day. Our service was excellent (we had Chris our server from the first visit) Nino visited our table and was kind and gracious. The food was excellent. I had the grilled pork chop with sliced, slightly grilled, apples with a conac demi-glace and garlic mashed potatoes. My bf the spinach fettuccine dish. But plates were almost licked clean. We're definitely coming back. Well done!

    My wife and I booked a reservation at this restaurant at the last minute for our valentines dinner. The food and service was excellent. We also was surprised to see live music which was an added treat. I look forward on going back in the summer 🙂.

    Lovely, cozy, special place. Food was excellent, from artichoke hearts and Caesar salad to the chicken Marsala and rigatoni. Carrot cake was heavenly. Service staff was attentive and kind without being overwhelming. Will definitely be back — and often!
