    My second time here. The food and everything was amazing. We celebrated my moms birthday and try 2 if the valentine specials. The breaded chicken and the ravioli. It was delicious. 😊

    Went for our anniversary but didn’t receive a complimentary dessert as most nice restaurants do. The salad only had a piece of goat cheese the size of a penny so I asked for more and she kindly brought more and said she wouldn’t charge extra. The pasta was lukewarm but tasty. All and all it was a pleasant experience, just not sure it’s worth going back.

    The food here is usually good. Tonight, I was very disappointed. I ordered the lobster ravioli on the special menu. It was supposed to be topped with shrimp and diced tomatoes. There were no diced tomatoes on top, and only one baby shrimp. This was not worth the $36 price they charged.

    My coworker and I had sat at the bar area and we ordered the calamari as an appetizer which is amazing and I ended up ordering the butternut squash soup which tasted barely like butternut squash and a lot like beef broth and a little bit greasy. I’m not sure if this was just a mistake however, I was really looking forward to the soup - so I would not recommend the butternut squash soup.

    Hostess was helpful and welcoming with getting us a nice table in a crowded restaurant. Service by Angel was very excellent with suggestions on wine and menu preparations. Will return again soon.
