"Not up to previous standards on this particular evening. The stuffed artichoke was a disaster. the inedible
"choke" part was not removed and the stuffing overpowered the artichoke. part of my duck was stringy, tough and difficult to chew, others parts were tender and delicious. Desserts were excellent"

"This was our second visit, and we again had a lovely special time, from the roses on the table to the friendly staff, to the memorable food. The seafood scallops were tender, the Gorgonzola stuffed homemade ravioli was amazing, and I am afraid I am addicted to the apple cheesecake."

"There is one menu choice if you want to eat healthy: the shrimp salad. If your only choice is salad starter (soups are creampbased), your choices are limited. When I asked the kitchen if they could grill the tilapia instead of sautee, they said "no." They didn't understand that olive oil and butter are equally fatty. My fish came swimming in oil. Surly waiter. Will never go back."

"This restaurant overflows with friendliness and generosity, from the warm welcoming greeting, to the helpful waiters, and the complimentary bruschetta. On our first visit, were treated like valued old friends. All the food was carefully prepared and tasty, including red pepper soup, salmon bistro salad, stuffed porkchops, and the bread with hummus, but I must confess I liked the apple cheesecake the best of all. It is also the best deal we have seen in any restaurant in Westchester. We expect and hope to become regulars."

"We discovered this restaurant through a newspaper review and a flyer that we received advertising a week-night special. For $21.95, you can get salad/soup, entree and dessert. There were three of us and we all got the special and we all enjoyed the meal. Two of us had the lobster ravioli which was wonderful and I had the salmon which was very good.The desserts were outstanding. The beggar's purse was terrific and the cheesecake was amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and the manager used our name when we left and thanked us.We would definitely go back."
