This place is my favorite… my go to for everything. When my family has a big celebration they have multiple areas to seat us so we have and never feel rushed. Date nights we are given appropriate attention. I’ve even catered with them and everyone left my home full and happy, didn’t have many left overs. They’re very accommodating with making changes to any dish as long as they have the ingredients! All around great place for any occasion

The food was good. Our server had a very large table to accommodate so was busy, but was great. The atmosphere in the “party room” was terrible. There was a table of 20 people who were so loud we couldn’t even have a conversation. We could only eat and not talk. I really don’t care about the large table - but would have appreciated a heads-up so we could decline that seating area. We were only a party of two on a date night.

Very crowded weekend evening with a reservation (you better have one). Seated right away, service excellent and food as well. Pretty large parking lot, but got one of the last empty parking spots in the pouring rain. Food and service very good but would go back on a weeknight instead of the weekend. Highly recommended.

We had a surprise 95th birthday for my grandmother and everything was fantastic! We had a private room with a limited menu for about 40 people. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. The drinks were refreshed and the servers did a fantastic job. Very accommodating for celiac! Highly recommend!

Overall, a beautiful place. Sweet Potato Fries were good, the salad was nice. The grilled chicken was better than the fried chicken but still very very dry! Pasta very Aldante! My husband got the meatballs and said they were quite dry and tasteless so it was unfortunate. We didn't complain because the waiter was real nice and accommodated our large party but overall the food could use a bit of help. Bathrooms were clean as was the restaurant so no problems there. Dress casual style wear. Beautiful bar with a large screen TV for watching games and such. Booth and table seating available. Wine glasses for drinking and cloth napkins. Hope this helps!Parking: 1 row of parking in the front of the restaurant but then a whole lot in the back.Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs but have to ask for them. No kids menu but will custom one for you with only two choices. Chicken fingers and fries or pasta. Chicken figures were very well done and can be hard for a toddler to consume.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level so easy for a standard wheel chair access. Bariatric wheelchairs are a bit harder as doors are standard and narrow. Once inside anyone can sit comfortably.

One of the best restaurants in the area. The food is amazing. Love the ambiance. Great martini menu. Fabulous pasta, steak, and seafood. My family from out of state always look forward to dining here when they visit.

Chose this restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We were seated quickly even without reservations. Once seated, we waited an hour to have our order taken. Everyone else around us, some of whom arrived after our party, were serviced prior to the waiter even acknowledging our table. We were a party of 3. We addressed the waiter a couple of times to inform we were ready to have our order taken. The response we received was “give me a minute.” He finally came to our table to take our order but then we couldn’t stay any longer. We requested our check and he then tried to tell us that he can have the food served for us and we could eat in 20 minutes. No sir, that is not acceptable. Needless to say we paid for our drinks and left. We ended up at a different restaurant whom deserved our money.

Been here 6 or 7 times in the past year. My mom loves the place. Food has always been decent. Atmosphere kinda cool and service hit or miss. My wife and I both put ourselves through college waiting tables. We are patient, sympathetic, mindful patrons and always tip more than 20%. After this last trip, i will not go back. Service was terrible, terrible, terrible. Waited forever to get drinks, when they came, the drinks took a longtime to get there, no ne checked on us, we finally ordered, app came, it was very good, salads came, they cleared the table and took the silverware and brought the mains. When they dropped the main dishes, we asked for silveware. The waiter smuggly said "its coming" after a few minutes, food is getting cold, i had to obnoxiously flag the waiter down to ask for a fork and knife. The waiter ran off muttering about the other staff. Someone else arrived with fork and knife, we asked for drinks, the person, did not seem to understand, nodded and wandered off. I enjoyed my duck, the wife took two bites of her swordfish and noticed it was still pink inside, way undercooked. cut it in a few other places to look and it was wayyyyy undercooked. They waiter was busy taking orders for a large party at the table next to us. I waived at him and he brushed me off. I pretty much finished my dinner, the waiter finally came by and said "how is everything" I said "terrible!" My wife says her fish is not cooked, no one offered us another drink, we had to wait for silverware and ate cold food. He took a look at the fish and agreed it was undercooked and offered to take it back to the kitchen. We told him there was no point because i had finished my dinner that we would just take it home. We complained about the drinks, and he said to my wife " you want another drink? I will bring you another drink." He brought the wine, asked us if we wanted desert, I ordered a coffee and the check, the coffee came. We looked the the bill and he charged for the wine! Full price for the undercooked swordfish Not that we were demanding the wine for free, but we really did not want it or need it at that point and he totally made it seem like he was offering the wine as an apology for the terrible service, poorly cooked food and multiple delays. Waiter is lucky my wife was there, he still got 15%. I would have not been so kind. I will just take my business to another place that values me as a customer.
