   We do not like the noise level of the main dining room. We checked in 30minutes before our reservation to ask for a table in the room nearest University. These two rooms are very quiet and make this dining experience top notch. Unfortunately the hostess tried to seat us in the main dining room after waiting 30 minutes in bar. I told her we wanted the side dining room and she said rudely it wasn't available. The manager saw this interchange and immediately moved us to one of the open tables. Well done! Thank you. Service and food was excellent as usual. We eat at this restaurant at least twice per month. Love it!

   We decided to have an early dinner and went there at 4pm. Our server was attentive. We ordered the seasonal sausage bread for an appetizer and it was delicious. I had the zoodles with mushroom Bolognese sauce. My husband had the homemade lasagna. The food was very tasty. We had a very pleasant experience.

   Very, very noisy. Slow service, uninspired meal, overpriced. Best to avoid, as there are many other options in area.

   First time and we expect to be back. Excellent specials and menu choices; solid service and not rushed even though the restaurant was busy and tables were at a premium. Vibe in quite trendy and chic.

   Second time we’ve eaten here, food and service is outstanding. Only negative is noise level, very hard to carry on a conversation or to hear our server. Will definitely return.

   Frist time here, Decor is very nice & outdoor patio looks beautiful once it warms up. Sat at table in lounge area to take advantage of happy hour. Comfy seating. Nice HH drink selection & cocktails were very tasty (old world italia and the lemoncello margarita). HH zuchini fries & stuffed peppers yummp (peppers are hungarian). For dinner had the short rib pasta which was excellent and hubby had the halibut risotto which was good. Service was pretty good, a little slow but accurate and friendly. Will go back.

    Have the shrimp scampi appetizer! It is fantastic. I had it after learning they removed my favorite shrimp bruschetta from the menu. Beth was great.
