    We had a reservation as it was a night that UConn was playing at the XL Center and were seated on time. The place was packed and there probably weren't enough waitstaff on duty but we were able to dine and leave with enough time to make the start of the game. Overall a very enjoyable dining experience. The food came out hot and was delicious. We will try this place again for sure and make an earlier reservation next time.

    Wonderful food and wonderful service. We had a reservation right when they opened and arrived a few minutes early but it was freezing and they welcomed us right in. My son had the salmon and said it was awesome (he’s very picky). Highlight had to be the baked Alaska for dessert!

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary (4th) and the entire staff was awesome. Everybody, from the young lady who checked us in to the folks who brought out or meal all congratulated us on our special day. Our waitress, Kim, was friendly, energetic, knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs. She made our celebration even better than I expected.
