   This restaurant is terribly understaffed and should not accept reservations if they are not able to accommodate people. We waited half an hour for a server to come take our drink order. They apologized and said that there were only 2 servers working in the entire restaurant that day. We ordered our food at the same time as the drinks since we had sat for so long and the food took an hour to come out. So apparently they were understaffed in the kitchen as well as the restaurant did not seem particularly busy for its size. There did not seem to be any managers on duty. Another party was sat nearby us and walked out a half hour later as we were tempted to do. Usually in situations like these the restaurant will comp a round of drinks or offer a free dessert but the server offered nothing and did not even apologize for the slow service. Such a shame because this place is in a beautiful location right on the pond and with proper management could be successful.

   Watch your bill…had extra charges for pasta that was included in the meal. I had to ask the manager to adjust the up charges. Waitress acted flippant about my son’s nut allergy multiple times. I almost left. 4 people got their meals and mine never came out. Waitress didn’t admit to forgetting said oh it will be 5 more min and I had pasta everyone else had chicken and seafood. Restaurant looks nice for summer dinner on the water, there is outdoor dining. Food was good though.

   We chose to dine inside this time. The room was quiet due to the time of day, and the service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious. I had chicken and sausage cacciatore in my dining companion had chicken piccata with homemade pasta. We were also served bread and dipping oil. The bread was warm, light, and fluffy with a nice crunchy crust. Both meals were outstanding. The Piccata sauce was light flavorful and not overpowering, just the right amount of capers and quite a bit of chicken. My cacciatore, the chicken, was plentiful and tender, and the sauce was amazing. The thin slices of sausage were a nice added taste and texture to the meal. Instead of pasta, I had mine served over a medley of vegetables, zucchini, carrots, summer squash, and haricots vert. We passed on dessert this time, but on a previous visit, we had the limoncello cake, which was the perfect finish to our meal. I look forward to dining here again.

   Food and service was great. Ambience lacking as mainly empty at 5:30pm. Not impressed with additional charge for using a credit card. Really? No decent restaurant expects cash payments these days.

   It was a little unsettling to pull into their large parking lot at 6pm on a Saturday, and there were very few cars. The bar & lounge had probably 15 people, and the main dining room only had one other couple. We were surprised at how good the food was! Service was good. Highly recommend any of the veal dishes, prepared with some of the most tender veal you'll ever have. Fresh made pasta was outstanding. Sauces could have had more flavor, but everything was tasty enough. My only "complaint" is if they're going to promote their scratch kitchen, have white table cloth dining, with prices that match... Why provide fresh baked bread with take-out butter?! We'll be back to sample more of the menu, and experience the outdoor dining!

    I would never go back. Had a Valentine’s Day reservation for dinner at 8:45. We get there at 8:43 and are told it’s going to be 30 min wait so they seat us at a high table but I had said we still want our table for the reserv. So at 9:30 we ask for our table and they thought we no longer wanted it even tho we had been waiting. After 15 more minutes we get our table and nobody comes over for 20 min so now it’s about 10:00 and we haven’t even ordered and our reserv was at 8:45. We left. I would not recommend.
