Good food, nice ambiance, friendly staff, reasonable price! We had a great time. The bruschetta appetizer was nice and the mussels appetizer looked so good I almost ordered it for dessert. There was live music. The atmosphere of the restaurant and bar was lively and happy. The waiter was very likeable. The food was very good. I ordered something where I needed to replace the rice with vegetables and it was no problem at all. At one point one of the managers came over to apologize for something that was just fine, and he was very personable as well. I felt welcome and look forward to going back.Dietary restrictions: One of the seafood dishes only came with rice. They happily substituted in vegetables for the rice.

Front door was broken, wouldn't close! Very cold. Management didn't seem to care. Put a damper on our night with friends!!

We had a great experience last night for dinner. There was live entertainment. A jazz guitarist was perfect for the vibe. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I had made reservations for my wife and I, and we were promptly seated at a nice booth in the bar area which we requested. Joe Piaskowski the Front of the House Manager really takes great care in helping his guests feel welcomed. Our server, Destenye greeted us warmly and efficiently. She is one of four family members including her husband who work at the restaurant. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. My wife ordered the Filet, and I ordered the New York Strip. Both were ordered medium rare and they arrived perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed some add ons including gorgonzola butter, bearnaise sauce and two sides. We chose the mushrooms and spaghetti bolognese. They were both excellent. All in all a simply perfect evening. We can't wait to go back very soon. Cheers!

We experienced great entertainment and ambiance at this restaurant! $5 wine for ladies night and and an exceptionally talented saxophone player performing while we ate. The chicken Parmesan was delicious and satisfying. Service was excellent.

I am a local. This place has always treated me well. However, today(February 3) had extra energy and an "It" factor. Especially with the energy of people such as, Ameria, Krystal, Eric and Michael. All Great bartenders - they bring great energy. Not Sure if Ameria is a bartender or server- but her enthusiasm making customers laugh and smile- including my friends this evening. Makes me want to come here tomorrow. Oh --and by the way Chicken Parmesian. Amazing!! Thanks!!

We were so happy with our choice of this restaurant!! Husbands NY strip steak was spot on he gives it a 9 out of 10 and that's about as good as you can get at a restaurant. He said it was better than a Ruth Chris steak! My lasagna was a 10! In fact, it may be the best lasagna I have ever eaten! Very large portion and I had leftovers for lunch for 2 days.

Really expected this place to be awesome, with great food and atmosphere but sadly disappointed. I'm not sure if it was the distasteful karaoke at the entrance which killed the vibe in the entire dining room, or the terrible lighting. The photos online looked amazing, so we were excited to give this a shot. Maybe the day is better than evenings, but it did not hit the mark for us. Food wise: The cheesy Garlic loaf was soooo good. The mussles were too dry and the shells were sticking to the skillet. I wasn't a fan. The filet was very tender, but honestly, it did not look like a filet cut. Chicken parm was the winner. Martinis were pretty basic, and wine selection seems small. Service wasn't top tier either. Not sure if we just got a bad night there, might try again but not likely. If you go, they have outside seating on a nice night... the bar looks nice too, but was crowded by very loud, overserved older ladies. Would like to see this place step it up a little more. So much potential

The short ribs and polenta was life changing. I sat with the flavor resonating in my mouth for 5 minutes after the last bite, unwilling to drink or eat anything that might end it prematurely.Joe, Giovanni, Eric and Michael were all amazing.Highly recommend.

Dinner was delicious! Hubby had chicken parm, which looked really good. He said the breast was very tender. I had the cedar plank salmon. It was cooked perfectly, next time will ask for just a little more of the sauce. The greens we great, but the mashed potatoes were just a bit glooey.Service was great, friendly staff. Live music was also good.We will definitely be going back!

This is definitely a new favorite. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was spot on, but the customer service was top-notch. We never had to ask for a refill, not once. And Bradley's recommendations did not disappoint. Can't wait to go back.

I stopped into this restaurant. On a Tuesday nite. Not that busy, plenty of parking. . They have a very very large parking lot. I ordered the double bone pork chop . Little note : if your in a hurry the double bone pork chop does take a while to cook , it's very thick. It's worth the wait. Get a appetizer and before you know it the chop will be serverd. I totally enjoyed it and totally recommend it. . The service was very good. May I make a few suggestions, taller glass for soft drinks, add a baked potato to the double bone pork chop plate or a vegetable. ( $6.00 to add a baked potato ridiculous) and lose the Mixed fries go with steak fries ..look at the picture of the plate with the pork chop and little salad see that big space of white plate there between the 2 . That needs to be filled either with a vegetable or a potato. Plating is very important. No gaps no empty spaces on the plate.
