    Food was outstanding. Server was terrific but timing was slow. We were there 3 hours, which was probably about 30 min more than it should have been. It was fine because it's a beautiful place and the server never made us feel forgotten- she was very attentive - I just think the kitchen was slow.

    Even though the restaurant was on fire from the holiday fest, Shane was super friendly as always…the entire staff was gracious and welcoming, including Will who had a huge party and Nate who was helping in the kitchen, yet both made a point to say hello. The food was fantastic as well!

    Lovely environment, excellent food, superb service. The only thing I would suggest is they could add just a couple additional vegetarian options. Currently there is only one entre option, the smoked mozzarella ravioli which was excellent but at least one other option would have been nice, especially since I would very much like to return but only having one entre option is a downside. Otherwise, wonderful place, highly recommended.

    First time dining here and it was a great experience for a girls night out dinner. The service was excellent - great recommendations, prompt and friendly service, quick follow up on menu questions - , the food was all delicious and the portions generously sized, the ambiance was relaxed but elegant, and we all appreciated the table lamp with adjustable lighting we could brighten to read the menu then dim while eating. Overall great place and we will definitely be back!

    Food and Service were excellent. We went for lunch on a Wednesday, and it was crowded, Glad we had an Open Table reservation. My wife had the Grilled Shrimp appetizer as her main and I got the Diavola Pizza (No. 8) as my main. They were both great and large enough for us to both have a meal for take home. We finished up with the Pumpkin Gelato as perfect desert for this time of year. Our Server, Katherine F, was outstanding.
