    My family and I had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s birthday and trying new dishes! Everything was delightful. Restaurant ambience was great, not too loud, music just right, food is healthy and delicious! We’ll definitely be returning since we live in Glenview!

    My gawd we ordered so many things from the menu. The buffalo mozzarella, fired calamari, bruschetta special and mussels were outstanding. Entrees were phenomenal and portioned generously. We had to sit at a high top at the bar and waited 20 minutes after our reservation time, but they were so apologetic and kind! I can hardly wait to return!!
