                                                Our pasta was very good, but they up charge $15 for a side salad with your pasta. The size of the side salad was ridiculous. Our waiter messed up a salad order, then charged us for the additional salad after he took it from us yet we paid for it. Bread was very underwhelming as well.

                                                Great ambiance and John was a stellar waiter who was attentive and has a good sense of humor. Food was very good but not a great value for the price. Good wine list with a wide variety of options and price points. Convenient to get to if you want to avoid going into the Hill itself and the associated parking difficulties.

                                                We always enjoy dining here and once again did not disappoint. To begin with the do have good happy hour special in the bar. Keep that in mind. Dinner was great service & food. Loved the lasagna and we had the sea bass special. It was great but for $70 I would suggest asking the price of the special before ordering. Or the waiter could have shared that info. Regardless, we love dining out for nice food $ service. We prefer dining here rather that Bristol’s.

                                                I took my group of 10 coworkers out for our annual Christmas lunch and we had a wonderful time. The Waterfall Room was a perfect setting that allowed us to have conversation and some privacy. Everyone's food was amazing and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

                                                Great service and the food was amazing. We did wait a while for our table to be ready despite our reservation and the only area to wait was right inside the door where we got a cold blast every time someone entered or exited.
