   We went here on a Saturday night for our anniversary. The food is definitely good. My wife had the lasagna and I had the filet mignon both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. We wanted a table outside, but they had a limited number of heaters so not every table was near a heater and it does get a little cold in February. The noise level inside the restaurant is pretty high. It was difficult to have a conversation with my wife. The restaurant was very busy. The waiters were pacing up and down. This didn't make it a relaxing dining experience. Even in chaos you should be able to show calmness. I stated earlier we were celebrating our anniversary and we had stated this in our reservation. Some restaurants will reserve some of their best seats for people celebrating events, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. that's not the case here. We were sat in a table next to the bar, which was even noisier. As an opportunity for improvement maybe set aside some of your better tables for parties that are celebrating special life events.  There was no acknowledgment by the wait staff of our celebration. Birthdays were being recognized at other tables so I don't know what happened here. We could've gone anywhere else but decided to come here because of the reviews and recommendations from locals. Unfortunately, we were disappointed overall.

   It was OK. Nothing to go outta your way for tho. My wife got the spaghetti bolognese and I got the lasagna. Meh. We tried to add a meatball or sausage but they didn’t offer that… we sat for 15 minutes before anyone came by. We were literally about to leave, but the waiter said he’d be back momentarily so we stayed for the marginal food and “barely there” service. 3 outta 5 is a “D”.

   We made a reservation for 8 people and we were seated on time. Drinks and food were good. Restaurant was busy and dinner took a little longer then expected. Overall a good dinning experience. We will go back for another dinner.

    We enjoyed our dinner very much. It was a limited pre fixe menu for Thanksgiving. Creative vegetarian option. Service excellent. Very pleasant dining room. Hostess was awesome.
