"The restaurant is very pretty and we all enjoyed the ambiance. It was nice not to have to strain to have a conversation between 4 people.
Our waiter was gracious and pleasant. The common consensus regarding the food was that, although it was tasty and very nicely presented, the quality of the food was just mediocre. It would be better if they upped their prices a bit and did not compromise on the quality of the basic ingredients.
If they can improve this the restaurant would be a true gem. Will go back for another try"

"The food was excellent, but the overall service left alot to be desired. We provided the $59.00 coupon and rather than base it on what was on the coupon they just deducted $59.00 from our bill."

"Our "Girls Lunch Out" was special this month because of this lovely restaurant. As we walked in the door the first words spoken in unison were "Oooooh it's so pretty!". The food was delicious, our server friendly and very attentive. As I mentioned earlier...the atmosphere was glorious. We all went home promising to return for dinner with husbands and friends. This was a real find!"

"What a beautiful restaurant! You don't want to rush through your meal since it's so pleasant to be there. We sat in a banquette which was very cozy and romantic, which was fitting since it was our day-after Valentine's day dinner. I ordered the special which was corvina with risotto and it was excellent. My husband loved his entree as well. The only thing a little off was the dessert, a pear in pastry that I had had before during lunch. The pastry hadn't quite finished cooking. Overall, we had a great time and won't hesitate to return."
