    We had reservations for 2 tables of six at 4:30. Whenwe arrived we were told we would have to be seated in two different rooms even though the restaurant was less than 20% filled. When we questioned that, the hostess had a HUGE attitude and said that we had a reservation for 12. When we pushed back on that she finally spoke to the manager who finally seated us at two adjacent tables. Until we left at 6:0, no neee see by large tables were filled. Our waiter was very good as was the food. However, first impressions mean a lot and this young woman needs some help with her service level and attitude.

    We both had Lasagna. It was a very delicious recipe. Sauce was tasty and smooth - not acidic like other sauces. Service was excellent - Rosalinda was wonderful. We’ll be back, especially during Kings season.

    The carpaccio was amazing! Mostly, the experience was about our wonderful server whose name I unfortunately do not recall, but she was rather pregnant and absolutely delightful!
