Other than a very loud and obnoxious women sitting at the table behind us talking loudly and swearing every other word we had a wonderful experience! All the entrees were delicious. A couple of us tried the special (butternut squash ravioli with lobster and shrimp) which should be on the menu all the time. The drunken shrimp appetizer was excellent. We enjoyed a couple of bottles of white wine. Overall “E” was very attentive and checked with us often. Excellent server!!

Everything was great, as usual, but service from the kitchen was a little slower than anticipated. However, this was Christmas Eve and the restaurant was very busy.
