Meatball and Lamb were excellent. Generous portions and came out nice and hot. Madison was a very good server and recommended a nice bottle of well priced red wine, called Tapestry.

While we waited for our table we were served pomegranate mimosas. Very nice. There are many reasons we enjoy dining here. The only drawback is the noise level. I’m not sure there is any solution. I really enjoy the butter lettuce salad with goat cheese and this time I added the salmon. It was a delicious combination.

We ordered the agnolotti for our appetizer. It’s always a good dish. For dinner my husband had the crispy chicken sandwich with fries. I had the surf and turf special. The special came with 3 huge shrimp and filet mignon. The shrimp were cooked to perfection as was the filet. It came with delicious veggies. The chicken sandwich was yummy and the fries were crispy and delicious. Service by Diego and Rebecca was excellent. We love this restaurant

Enjoyed an evening out with husband. Brooklyn is such a caring and wonderful server. So appreciate her suggestions for entrees and cocktails. We started with Ginbo (Gin Drink) and Nutmeg Drink. We enjoyed their seasonal mushroom bisque soup. Let me just say, if you like mushrooms this is a perfect starter for the season! This is a flavorful soup! Well done Chef- you nailed it! We had split a bowl mushroom soup, famous vinegar, and goat cheese butter lettuce salad. Husband had the rib eye steak a d I had the famous chicken smite with pumpkin spatzle. Dessert was crème brisket with berries. Great evening friends. Love this gem!
