She talked about all the dishes and what were some of her favorites, and it made for a wonderful way to select our meals. First time here, will come back when in town again!

                                          The service was excellent. The server was wonderful and attentive. The braised beef was good, but the gnocchi was not gnocchi. It was chewy, square dumplings, and not very good.

                                          This was the third time we dined here. Two out of the three visits, the service was awful. This last experience has sealed the deal on never going back. It took 30 min after being seated to get our drink order and it was down hill from there. I expressed my displeasure to the waitress after waiting 20 min to get our dessert order and she said she was talking to another customer who wouldn’t stop talking. That’s not acceptable at this price point. It took almost 3 hours to eat. I don’t mind a relaxed dining experience but this was ridiculous. It’s a shame because the pasta is very good but not worth the stress of waiting so long in between plates.
