    We had a party of 10, and were pleasantly surprised when directed to a private room. The service was fabulous and the food did not disappoint. We had everything from teriyaki chicken to sashimi. This was our first time coming to this restaurant, and I look forward to revisiting many more times to come.

    We had an excellent experience for our anniversary dinner. We were greeted with glasses of champagne. The focaccia with eggplant caponata and carpaccio were wonderful starters. For our mains, we had the agnolotti with braised beef short ribs and the lasagna. Both were delicious. We will return soon to try more items on the menu.

    I wasn't sure what to expect an Christmas Eve. I once again chose one of the specials- Stuffed Seabass. The food was excellent as usual. But what surprised me was how well the chaos was organized. It was crazy busy but every patron was taken care of with a smile, expediency, and efficiency. My honey and I were led (at our reservation time, not late) to a tucked away corner where we could enjoy our meal without shouting at each other. This is a great restaurant to celebrate holidays, special occasions or any regular day.
