"Great food, great company, great atmosphere AND surprised at the reasonable price for all the food we ate! There were six of us--we had enough left over food for two more meals for all six of us. We had a bottle of wine AND STILL the price came in under $200--impressive!"

"Food was good but a little cold when it got to table. They were out of short ribs which was what I was going to have. The tour around the restaurant even though empty at the time was so quick I didn't have a chance to look at much."

"I have visited this location on multiple occasions and my most recent visit was this past weekend with a group of nine everything was just fine as expected and as I have experienced before the only part which could have been a bit better was the seating given the size of my group I felt we were a bit crowded together not much room for movement but none the less a very good night out."

"The service from my waitress Yvonne was totally a horrid experience. She screwed up y friend order and the funny thing is she wrote the order done as when the food came I asked her what has had written down, The salads came out, she did ask if we wanted our food, We answered her no, but I know that she did not hear us and out came the food.. she I stated to her that we had said no but I did not want the food taken back. She over charged me, luckily I looked over the bill but it was to many issues and it was my friends birthday she couldn't not eat her food , one she didn't order that and two it was just a bad experience. I would not be going back unless a miracle happened."

"We were especially impressed with the waitress who helped us with ordering and was always attentive to our every wish. We actually forgot to request the "Staff" party discount , thinking we would tell you we all did volunteer work at our church together and wanted to celebrate a birthday. But-----the amount of food was perfect and everything was delicious, and, mostly because the waitress made us so comfortable. She was very helpful in letting me know about one of the cups I brought in. You are lucky to have her on your staff. Thanks to all."

"Our waiter was not attentive and when asked if the cannoli's were still on the menu he shrugged his shoulders and said "yes,of course,why?"We told him a year or two ago we had dinner and were looking forward to having the cannoli's with their special hot chocolate sauce and our waiter told us it was off the menu,so we just wanted to be sure it was still on. He then replied, with an attitude,that we must have been mistaken because they were never off of the menu. Then he only returned to our table once more,unless we were able to get his attention.Everything ordered was DELICIOUS,except dessert.The cannoli's that were served were not filled completely and the sauce was cold Herseys chocolate, not the warm chocolate sauce,but we'll be back."
