We are long time customers. The place can use some updating and a deep cleaning. No hot sake ? Def should make sure the machine works. The staff was very good from Louis the server, Hector the chef and Andy the manager. They all were very accommodating. Food is consistent and very good.

My second time here and did not disappoint. The grilled eggplant with mozzarella was delicious. Our entrees were the veal Marsala which was tender, the roasted potatoes were yummy and the green beans were crisp. Too full for dessert but the cappuccino was very good. Service was good without being overbearing. Will be back.
