    Great location, beautiful building! Scott was our server and he helped us in our decision on the menu. The food was gloriously delicious and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend to my friends! We split a salad, we also split the fish special, which was so yummy, and the ravioli w short ribs and the most creamy sauce! ! Scott assisted in paring the wine.

    Food was great. Service was great. It was nice to have some live music, but in the enclosed space, it seemed a little too loud to be able to talk. We were seated in the back at a table with a bench on one side and chairs on the other. The bench was comfortable, except it was too deep. It required me to bend over the entire time to reach the table. I had no back support and was not able to relax. Thr table and bench heights were off. My thighs were touching the table. Very uncomfortable. Maybe lower the bench and put some large pillows for the back.
