We've had dinner here on a couple of occasions. Both times, we experienced attentive service and enjoyed the reasonably priced, well plated, delicious food. I've posted a couple of photos of the surf and turf special, which is by far the favorite that keeps me coming back and has the best melt in your mouth steak (well, almost melt in your mouth!) ?

We went here for a friend's birthday. We started with a reservation for 3 but they easily accomodated an extra person on short notice. Parking is available but there was only one spot left when we arrived. The hostess sat us and then reviewed the specials. The head waiter arrived shortly after and reviewed the specials. After a little wait we ordered our meals. A bread plate was offered with a nice balsamic vinegar and oil.When the Ravioli alla Zucca arrived I mistook it for the Zuppa I had ordered. Zuppa and Zucca sound similar when you are not used to hearing Italian. Alas, it was not my Zuppa. The Surf And Turf and Agnello with a side of Sea Scallops also arrived. My wife and I were going to share the lamb and added scallops to round out the order. The food quality was fantastic. We followed the main course with 3 desserts and a coffee for me. The host offered an extra complimentary Tiramisu for the birthday boy. The desserts were delicious too.The overall dining experience was a little off. The main floor room was a little cramped for my comfort. The photos online must have been taken upstairs. The service was a little awkward and poorly paced. The Zuppa I ordered never arrived but it did appear on the bill. When I noted the problem the head waiter had it removed and then dodged responsibility. Little complimentary cookies also came with the bill.There were no specific service problems other than the missing Zuppa but nothing seemed to happen smoothly. Some restaurants have staff who have clearly developed an efficient flow, this group seemed to be 'out of step' with each other today.A gratuity of 20% is applied to parties of 6 or more. Suggested gratuities range from 18% to 25%.This is an excellent restaurant if you are willing to pay a little bit more and are not too concerned with recieving perfection from the servers.Parking: The free parking lot is limited to about 22 stalls.

Last night we were celebrating my husband’s and best friends birthday. There was seven of us. The ambiance is cozy and warm. I felt the food was just okay and very overpriced for pasta. What was really disappointing was they only brought one desert out , when there were Two birthdays being celebrated. I also do not appreciate that we had to pay a 20 percent gratuity. I don’t think we will go back.

Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.Food was amazing and service was 10/10!Lost a star for atmosphere because we sat by a window and there was a very cold draft. But other than that, the vibe was great.

My boyfriend made reservations for our anniversary a couple months back. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were not able to attend. We were finally able to make another reservation just because; our server remembered he had booked us back for our anniversary. It was definitely special. Thank you so very much!

Went there for Valentines. I had to send back two plates Velt was all burnt the other main they had to remake which was a pulled pork buildings nice services all right but food is like two star but they charge you five star prices. I’ve been to many five star restaurants and this is definitely not one if you wanna go nice five star or even a four star restaurant go to Chris Ruth steakhouse if you’re feeling for Italian go to Olive Garden and might not be the nice fancy atmosphere but at least the food is better than here.Definitely if you’re gonna spend five $600 for a night out spend it somewhere else I don’t mind spending $600-$1000 for supper but definitely not at this place.

Very nice romantic atmosphere, fine dining, great food. Except the Aragosta Risotto. The risotto is delicious, but be aware, the "whole lobster tail" is not lobster at all. It's a very small, 2 inches long tail of a langostino, size of a prawn. For the price of the dish there should be at least 3 of them, or just serve a real whole lobster tail.

Such a cozy romantic little Italian restaurant. My hubby and I recently ate here and it was amazing! The fettuccine alfredo flambed in a cheese wheel was a very nice touch and was probably the best alfredo we've ever had.The rest of the food was done to perfection as well.Everything was perfect from the staff, ambiance, music, to the food. Will definitely recommend!

My girlfriend and I went here for their Valentine's Day special, we were really looking forward to a nice meal but unfortunately we were let down. To start off, we were not greeted for about 5 mins but saw 2 tables who came after us be greeted right away. We ordered a bottle of wine, but unfortunately points in wine service were missed. We were not given a taster of the bottle and the wine chiller was just pulled over from another table with melted ice and an empty bottle in it. Our server slammed our bread onto the table and quickly turned around and walked away. She was short with us and she seemed busy and rushed. I had the dish with mussels and shrimp but some of my mussels did not have any meat in them. The biggest let down was my girlfriend's Chicken Marsala. It did not have a creamy sauce but rather it was just chicken with gravy on top, I am assuming that the kitchen had run out of marsala sauce so the gravy was a substitute but we would have liked to be informed about that. The only highlight of our experience was the dessert which tasted amazing. Me and my girlfriend both work in the hospitality industry so we understand that sometimes things do not always go as planned but we expected to have a bit more of an intimate experience here especially for a meal we paid $400 for.

We were there on Valentine's Day, and they were using a tasting menu that night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the food and the portion sizes - it was not worth the price at all.

Wonderful evening! Definitely will be back. Both service and food was amazing! I believe our server was Chester? He has worked there over 10yrs. Must be doing something right, wouldn't you say?? The other two ladies who assisted with the meal - were amazing as well. It was my Birthday dinner celebration and they surprised me with a sparkler in a lovely dish of house made ice cream. It was amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant.

We came here for dinner for the first time, to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. The food and service were excellent. Thank you to our waitress for her kindness and bringing us a special anniversary dessert :)
