    Food was very good, a great value. I told them in my reservation and when we checked in that we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. They sat us next the restrooms and never acknowledged our event. The table next to us got a birthday cake. I guess some people get special treatment and others get the restroom. If you want good food and don’t care how you’re treated, this is the place.

    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.
