Food would be 4 star, if it was served hotter. Every visit the dishes come out “warm”, next visit we will ask that they be “hot”. Overall, nice dining experience.

Mom’s 87th birthday. Parking was a breeze. Hostess Carli had a great personality and made us feel at home. Our waiter, Paris, was very attentive and did an excellent job of making sure we all were satisfied. I’ve been here many times it keeps getting better!

This was my first time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. From the fresh halibut and scallop dinners to the Ricotta doughnuts. We couldn't stop watching the other dinners coming out of the kitchen. One looked better than the next. We will definitely return to try more entrees.
