    We had a great experience for my dad's 90th birthday- wanted accommodations for a quieter space and the manager was so gracious! The food was spectacular- the value was great with large portions, so we had a scrumptious meal. My dad had a hankering for veal parmesan, they made it happen and it was fabulous. This was our third great experience there... so wanted to share it with you- highly recommend!

    I have always enjoyed dining here. The service is excellent, and everyone is pleasant and efficient. Tonight they had a limited menu, and I had Lamb shank with Risotta, and it was not my favorite. Too much sauce/gravy. It needed a lighter wine sauce. Normally, I would prefer Linguini with Clams.
