    Thursday night is pasta night and it was amazing!! Two pasta dinners and a bottle of wine for $60 was a great deal. The Tagliatelle was our favorite but the Cacio E Pepe was also good. The service was excellent. We will be back!!

    Bookbinders: 4.86 ⭐️ We got a premium parking spot directly in front of the entrance. 10/10 *it is a Tuesday so set your expectations accordingly* The host staff was very friendly. They asked me ahead of time if it was anyone’s birthday and put the birthday guy’s name on the menu. Nice touch. 10/10 The owner greeted every table and introduced himself. Very smiley. Personablele guy. 10/10 The Cajun tuna was amazing. 12/10 The scallops were one minute overcooked but I think it may have been from sitting waiting on the rest of the food to be ready to leave the kitchen. 8/10 The ribeyes were not the best we’ve had. 7/10. The horseradish sauce was 10/10. The wedge was perfect. Fresh and crisp. 10/10 The clam chowder was 10/10. Both potato sides were 10/10. Our server was great. He was spread a little thin with other diners, but we weren’t in a hurry. He apologized for any delays. He recommended the Tuna and he was not wrong. He served and cleared like a pro. Kept the wine poured. Gave the birthday guest a slice of cake to close out the night. 10/10
