    Outstanding meal and service. We have eaten here twice and both times, while a bit higher priced, the cost is worth it.

    Everything was wonderful. The service was prompt but not bothersome. The food was delicious. The scallops and short rib agnolotti, in particular, were amazing.

    Never falls short, we come in a couple of times a year for special occasions. This past time the background music was a little loud but it seemed to fade as the restaurant got busier.
