"The food was great and the service was good, despite the fact that there were several large groups with several children that had were in the restaurant. I am sure that took up a lot of valuable resources, but the restaurant seemed to handle the pressure very well. Overall, I would recommend and will return."

"Other than getting the salad and main dish orders incorrect... We specifically asked for no onions in the salad. It showed up full of onions. The waiter had it re-made but that messed up the flow of the meal. He should have caught it and the kitchen should read the orders. My wife cannot eat dairy so she asked for the veal park without cheese on 1/2 the order. Again, covered with cheese. Again the waiter didn't notice. Someone needs to be coaching the kitchen and waiter on accuracy and there should be a checker looking at orders going out the door. The rest of the experience was very good. The food was tasty, cold and hot as appropriate and the waiter did a good job otherwise."

"When we looked this restaurant up on the web it stated it was a reservation only restraunt, and we decided to visit this location, we also asked for them to provide us with a kids menu a the time of us being sat. When we got to the restaurant we noticed it was not a reservation only, but becuase we did have reservations we did get seated promplty, thank you for that. We did not get our child's menu unless we asked for it, the table we got sat at was really close to another party that you could hear each others conversation even if you would talk low, if we whispered we could not hear each other. Our meal was great but we did not expect the prices, which was not bad for the amount of meal we got, but the web is misleading."

"Our waiter Chaz was very knowlegable on the wine list. We had mussels, shrimp and calamari to start. Everything was delicious! I especcially enjoyed the smokyness of the mussels. I had pizza margharita... nice thin crust, not over sauced big basil leaves, creamy mozzarella. I would have finished it with a drizzle of olive oil. My husband had Spaghetti with meat balls. Hugh portions! Loved it!"

"My wife and I had our reservations for 7:30. When we arrived we told the hosts we had a reservation and then gave them our name. They said we would be seated shortly. We ended up waiting twenty minutes to be seated. During that time many couples of two were seated. I think the hostess was getting a vibe from my wife that she was not happy. The main hostess then asked another one who we were! At this point we were ready to leave. When she realized she had overlooked us, she then sat us at a table right away. I was expecting a different experience. I was expecting since we took the time to plan ahead and make a reservation, that we would have been shown better service in a more timely manner. Our server was very friendly."

"The food was outstanding and they still took the time to take us through the tour in the kitchen. We did get our drinks very quickly but unfortunately after our waiter got more tables he forgot about us. He did check in with us one other time but the rest were just more of a peak into the room. He also forgot one of our requests and had to ask someone else for it."
