    We went for happy hour, but will definitely be back for dinner. Service was fantastic, food was delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is great. We had meatballs, a marg pizza, stuffed mushrooms and all 3 flavors of gelato. 5 stars for everything.

    Food was excellent, but service was not as expected for an upscale restaurant. Staff were not accommodating or properly trained on quality service.

    Loved the service and food. Be advised, that this restaurant, albeit it is indoors and fancy, allows pets. This was a unpleasant surprise, as it is not commensurate with the ambience of the surroundings. This is separate from a service animal policy.

    The Sea Bream was awesome, as were the meatballs and stuffed mushrooms. Eric was our waiter and provided superior service and recommendations. Tremendous restaurant overall.

    We had a party in the private room (which was very nice.) I was very excited to try after reading the reviews of the restaurant and seeing the ads in the hotel. The food overall was decent (with the exception of the squid ink pasta..perhaps it was just not our preference.) Our server was fabulous at first, but when it became apparent we were not ordering expensive bottles of wine, he seemed irritated that we were there and not spending more money. Overall, ok experience, but I did not live up to the hype. Good quality overall, but not sure I would go out of my way to try.

    I was in town for work and was dining alone. This restaurant happened to be in my hotel and had some great reviews so I have it a shot. My waiter, Eric, was excellent and gave some great recommendations. I had the Caesar salad - excellent, the sea bream - a must try, and the mushrooms. The fish was the star of the show. I also had the panna cotta. It was the perfect light end to the meal. Highly recommend checking this place out if your in town.
