   We had high expectations, and unfortunately the experience fell short. The service was a little slow. The appetizers, barrata and calimari were good. I ordered the lamb chops. It was supposed to be 12oz, but what I got was three tiny lamb chops that could not have been 8 oz. Additonally, I ordered the lamb medium, and it came well-done. I sent back the lamb and got the seabass. It was decent, but also overcooked. My wife ordered the seafood risotto. It was $45, and came with two shrimp, two scallops, and a small piece of cod. The risotto was cooked well, but lacked seafood flavor. Overall we felt the prices were high for the quantity and quality of food. If you decide to sit outside (Which we did), be prepared for a fair amount of traffic and loud vehicles that detracted from the ambience.

   Food was very good to excellent. I loved the new grilled shrimp small plate with polenta - very similar to food we have in Napa Valley. It was awesome! My husband loved his beet salad and enjoyed the Sea Bass and I enjoyed the Ahi Tuna. Dining room is very loud due to floor, walls and ceiling all being hardscapes. Recommend the owner consider buying sound dampening panels for the walls - there are many styles to go with any decor and they are inexpensive. If you prefer a more quiet meal, I recommend getting a table outside. Great wine list with excellent low prices. Service was great. Waitress was a very nice young woman who did a great job of being there at all the right times. Very happy they have valet parking around back. We will be back as there are many things we'd like to try on the menu, the food is delicious and the prices for food and wine are good. Highly recommend.

   Service and food were overall good despite the filet mignon being undercooked and sent back but a new one arrived quickly and was good. Dishes were a little too oily, a little too rich and a little too salty, but that may be subject to personal taste. Service was good overall. Room was quite loud and walking outside after was a welcome quieter atmosphere on the patio. We like the place and go regularly, it’s a good solid place but not quite 5 Star, and no cheap anymore! Thanks

   Loved it! We had the Gluten free penne chicken artichoke dish and it was great. We also had the meatballs to start and it was incredible.

   Great food and service. Waitress very helpful matching our party with wonderful plates. Enjoyed the out door patio seating with the occasional thumping bass and engine pops. Wide variety of food tasted including steak, salad, stir fry and fish. All diners happy. Definitely will return to sample more of the menu.
