    The best service I have had in a long time in any restaurant. From the hostess switching out the white napkins to black ones because we were wearing black. My date didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to her. Service was great throughout the night. The food was delicious as well. What more could we ask for?

    The food was delicious. Our servers were conscientious. We had a large table although there were just two of us. I had the short rib ravioli in vodka sauce and it really was great. It is a small, family owned restaurant that has continued to be wonderful over the years.
