    First time there and it won’t be last! It was a great experience- from the cocktails to dessert it was delicious. My husband said the lamb chops were some of the best he’s ever had! Christie took care of us, she was knowledgeable and really so nice! Love the decor and the atmosphere - can’t wait to return.

    Food for the most part ok. My entree (which was a special) came out barely warm. Waitress came & took our drink order, but failed to alert us to 2 dishes on the menu which they did not have this night. Seated at booth in bar where band was playing so noise level was awful. Sorry, for those prices not worth going back.

    The place is adorable & the drinks were delicious. Our server was so nice. The menu options were ok. The food was also ok, definitely room for improvement. To start we ordered the whipped ricotta, general tso rock shrimp & chicken and ginger dumplings. They were all good but we liked the dumplings the most. The ricotta dish’s duck prosciutto is cut thick & there’s a lot of squash & not so much ricotta. And the bread served along with the dish is not complimentary. The Main Street salad was delicious & a perfect portion. The bistro burger was good. The chicken Milanese was a large portion & also good. The lasagna Nonna was okay. We skipped dessert but the choices were tempting.

    We sat in main dining room. The noise level was better than bar area. The atmosphere in general is classic steak house vibe. The food was excellent. Our table had steak and seafood. I highly recommend.
