    What a night!! We were celebrating my MILs 86th birthday and got part of the family together to celebrate. Leonessa was amazing, but we knew that from previous visits. From Vladi to Michael, we couldn’t have asked for more attentive help with appetizer, dinner, and wine choices. And the food was delectable. I really wanted the grilled lobster pasta dish, but am gluten free. Chef made it into a risotto for me that everyone at the table tried! So so good. We will be back again and again.

    Our server Jem was amazing. He made excellent recommendations, was super attentive and even consulted the bartender to help with a wine pairing. A truly wonderful experience!

    My neighbor and I were celebrating a positive event and buying a gift certificate. We started by sharing the Cobb salad which was beautifully presented, interesting and delicious. Both of us had pasta dishes which we enjoyed and left with dinner for the next day. Our waiter, Liam, was attentive and friendly. Both of us are grandmothers and commented after dinner that it is so inspiring to meet such delightful members of the younger generation. Cost was reasonable and we know the recipients of the gift certificate will have a special experience.
