+39 didn't disappoint. We were happy to be out on a date nite and managed to get reservation. Sometimes being a last minute reservation it seems places don't always get you in the "book". We were entered and they had the table waiting for us. Started out with a bottle of wine and with COVID their selection is down and I understand the reasoning. Regardless we had a wonderful Chianti followed by a wonderful meal. The server was very personable and did an excellent job.

I really wanted to enjoy the restaurant, the setting is very nice on the inside. The problem is with their service, and probably management. The server seemed to be working hard, kitchen seemed to work hard, except they didn't run food out to tables, when we were there we saw drinks prepared at bar and sitting for 20 plus minutes, while there were up to 3 people behind bar not appearing to be doing anything. It seemed like the owners may have been working host stand, then wandered without helping. We watched food sit on the kitchen serving area for up to 30 minutes. It took us over an hour after ordering to get our food, which was varied. Fish was excellent, meatballs and pasta dishes cold, salads warm. I dislike bad reviews, I just wont go back though.

We always ask to have Corey as our waiter, but he was in the kitchen the night we were there. Instead, we had a waiter named Jacob and he lived up to Corey's level of service and friendliness!
