The food as always was excellent . There was a mixup with the order but it was quickly corrected. Also we were overcharged on drinks (3 sodas charged but my son only had two) . Our waiter quickly saw the issue and took care of it before we even mentioned anything. He removed the sodas completely from the bill and gave us complimentary after dinner drinks. We always leave here happy. Will definitely come back again.

We had an excellent dinner on Christmas Eve with outstanding service. The prices for for food were quite reasonable, with several entree selections available in the 20s. Bottles of wine were a bit expensive but overall great value and a wonderful evening!

The carbonara is my favorite pasta on the menu it did not disappoint. Had a chicken special which was also good. Regrettably it was really hot upstairs, and they don’t seem to be able to do anything about that. And I mean 79 degrees if the thermostat is to be believed. On a 20 degree night. Seems it is all one zone heat/AC.
