    We hosted a large group of teenagers for our daughter’s birthday and it was the perfect dinner spot. The staff really made the night - outstanding service.

    My meal was very good. My guest's ravioli was too salty so she didn't eat more than 1/2, and that was because she was very hungry. A shame - on previous visits the meals were great.

    Delicious food and outstanding service. It’s a small space with a loud boisterous crowd. If you go later the crowd gets younger as it’s a popular place to go before going out late night. Attire varied greatly from people decked out to people wearing sweat pants…. It was home hockey and football weekend so people were in full party mode.

    The penne vodka is amazing and my personal favorite. We also had the salmon which was delicious. Perfectly prepared.

    We had a great meal. We got the stuffed banana peppers for an appetizer, which was excellent. We had great service and loved the atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
