It was a lovely dinner. You accomodated our group of 9 so well in a private room. We were celebrating a surprise 50th and your staff helped go off without a hitch. Everyone loved what they ordered. I highly recommend !

My son enjoyed the three cheese ravioli because it was delicious and generous with the cheese. I enjoyed the Italian Wedding soup before having the cub wrap. My husband enjoyed the spicey penne which had a nice kick. The bread was enjoyed by all! My daughter enjoyed her fettuccine with a good portion of bacon. Would recommend each of the dishes.
