"I always enjoy the taste of the food. Looking at the decor is interesting. Servers are attentive. With or without reservations, every table is a good one. Groups are especially a good idea since the portions are huge, and they are served family style."

"Enjoyed the food. A bit disappointed that the birthday celebrations are only for those who were able to show their email or proof of email. We had a large group a celebrated 3 birthdays, but, only one of the birthday person was given their treat. It was a disappointment and embarrassing for the others."

"As I explained already. We arrived early, so I could tell the server how we were paying and gave her the coupons. I was disappointed that once everyone was at the table she came back twice to the table with the coupons to ask questions and then after we paid she made it a point to return the one coupon we had left. It was just embarrassing in front of all of our guests that we used a coupon to pay for everyone. She was a very nice girl and the service was great. I just think when you have invited a group (not just myself & spouse) for a birthday party and you pull out coupons, it’s just embarrassing.
Plus I wasn't told that the birthday person did not get a slice of cake or anything. Once I figure that out I bought dessert for the table.

"Good experience though One hiccup to mention: when hostess seated us, she confirmed we were a party of 7, then led us to a table for 6 and started to walk away. . No mention if a chair was being brought over or if another table was going to be added. I had to ask her about it and she seemed surprised like oh you have 7? Excep for that, we had a nice time. Service was great, good was good and kids were happy which meant mommies and daddies could chat and enjoy our glasses of wine."

"As always service and food was great!! I made a request to sit in the bar because its quiet and more intimate. Its the best place to sit for a small party. The table was ready when we arrived. My child's food came just before ours, which is perfect because kids are so impatient. I will say that we always order the same thing Chicken Scalopini, Ravioli and green beans. I guess the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" definitely applies."

"The food was good .. service was Alittle slow and too many chairs at the table that needed to be removed.when I checked in the manager I think he was seemed to have a bit of an attitude .. made me feel like he didn't like that I had 4kids in my party ..when I paid my bill the waitress asked if I needed change .. my bill was 95$ but I used a 10$ coupon and gave a 100$bill to pay. My husband and I felt like that was rude. Did she really think she was gona get a 15$ tip on a 85$ check at the end,when our bread was never refilled and I had to ask for refills on my kids drinks and they didn't get that til after they where done with there food. Just because u r a waitress asked doesn't mean u should expect a tip,its something u work for."
