    Start of the evening was a bit shaky, as we sat for 10 min. before the host noticed we had not even gotten water, or been seen by the server, but he was apologetic and things quickly improved. The restaurant is NOT a place for a quiet dinner for two--it is very "high energy" (loud!) Cocktails were well-made and tasty. The two different pasta dishes we had were very good, with the pasta itself perfectly cooked. Grilled Napa lettuce appetizer was delicious as well. The Barbera by the glass was a nice wine. Panna Cotta dessert was delicious. Overall, a very good meal- we will return (I want to try the pizzas, which looked great).

    Our waiter, Jack, and his helper, were super attentive and probably gave us THE BEST service we've ever had here. Food was super quick to get and our order was perfect. Jack is certainly the rock star of the waitstaff! Food was excellent as always. Only room for improvement - perhaps time to update the dessert menu and change it seasonally, same with the specialty drinks.

    It all started with Jason, our server. He made the experience easy and amazing throughout! The drinks (old fashion) and the salad starters (get the Caeser!) were 5 stars! Make Tana on your rotation and enjoy the atmosphere!

    i took my mother out for christmas dinner. we were promptly greeted and shown the way to the host stand before we even reached the stairs to the front door. there, the host was smiling and extra polite. the table was set to perfection. the whole team serving us were all spectacular- happy, friendly, knowledgeable. schuyler (sorry if the spelling is wrong) seemed very attentive to every question we had about the menu, he was definitely familiar with all details of the food. lauren came by our table a few times to make sure everything was spot on. she seemed happy to be helping out with everything- delivering some of our food, topping up our sparkling water. overall she seemed to go beyond expectations- even for the other tables around us. as for the food- my mother couldn’t stop complimenting the zucchini fritti appetizer. she had the market fish for her entree. she enjoyed every last bite (i got one bite as well, it was prepared and cooked wonderfully). i ordered the filet, rare plus. the temperature was great. i enjoyed the thinly sliced fennel, it paired well with it. we ordered broccolini as a side dish, and it was delightful- it had a hint of spice. desserts were divine. everything was an absolute pleasure, especially the staff. my one and only complaint was that the tables weren’t spaced apart that much. but we made friends with the lovely ladies dining next to us. i would highly recommend this place. the food and the entire staff made our experience top notch, and i look forward to returning.

    This was our first visit. The overall experience was good but was disappointed that the hostess counted locate our reservation. After a couple of minutes and several questions, she did seat us anyway. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was great. The salad dressing was a little on the tart side but that is simply personal taste. The entrees were very flavorful, prepared as ordered and served promptly. Dining room noice level was low, even as the room filled. Overall, will return and recommend to others.
