    Great unrushed service. It was cold out, and our server recommended jadine tea with honey and lemons, which was so thoughtful. Fresh warm bread and butter was offered immediately. The Filet mignon was perfect.

    I haven't tasted food THIS good from a restaurant in a really long time. It was well seasoned, but not too salty. The drinks were really good too. Although it was pretry crowded, we didn't have to wait long for our food. I can't wait to go back.

    Food always so good. We went at lunch time so not so busy or noisy. Service was inattentive and not knowledgeable about the menu.

    We went for our family and friends Thanksgiving dinner. There was a special Thanksgiving meal although they normally only serve Italian food. It was delicious and a generous portion. There’s a good wine and cocktail selection. The service was excellent. It was also Mom’s birthday and they made her feel special.

    Coleen did a great job. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and I also had a dinner to go. I'll say it again, you have the best bussers of any restaurant. Well done!  If I could only make one comment for improvement, it would be that the chocolate chip cookie dessert should have been warm with the ice cream. Thank you.
