The food was on point and delicious. You were out of the short rib, which is my normal go to, but I’m so glad you were because the four cheese ravioli were amazing!

The food was subpar at best, and very slow to come out. This was not my first time there for dinner, but unfortunately, it’s the first time we had a bad experience .

The food and service were outstanding, but we were disappointed in knowing that one of their best staples, Salmon, will no longer be on the menu regularly any more, but only as an occasional “Special.” We have very much enjoyed going there, and counted on this being on the menu and available to order, but unfortunately with this latest info, we will only be going there occasionally vs regularly. The new fish choice there, halibut, will not replace the salmon.
