The cucumber dip was refreshing and tasted like my Persian roommate's. It was delicious. The Cornish Hen kabob b was juicy and cooked perfectly

A truly "Meh" experience (and pricey). The turkey and gravy was ok, but they emptied the salt shaker into the dressing. It was inedible. The sweet potato casserole was a little too sweet but the best item we were served. We had unsweetened iced tea (no bread or dessert) and our bill with a tip was $39.00 for two. The service was pleasant but nobody went out of their way for us. We won't be back.

The restaurant Is under new ownership and they will be serving the same meat and 3 buffet and Persian cuisine. We dined there for lunch and had a delicious Persian meal. We got the special salad and the mixed grill--all well-prepared with large portions we couldn't finish! We will be back for more!

Love the drinks, sometimes they have special drinks through out the year! Last year in February they had it decked out as Alice in Wonderland and had a really cool Cheshire cat drink that was pink with sparkles in it! It was so good! My husband and brothers enjoy the dirty martinis which I like to steel there blue cheese olives from them lol

Love the decor and atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and the food and drinks are great. This is one of my favorite places to dine.

Long story short, the food was okay but did not taste fresh. Meatballs were hard and bolognese dish was definitely not a bolognese sauce. Italian wedding soup was nothing I have ever seen before. Not authentic unless this restaurant is trying to do something different with Italian

Absolutely wonderful meal with fantastic happy hour deals. It's tucked away in a strip mall and wouldn't have known about it if not for an invitation from some dear friends. Can't wait to visit again!

Read a lot about this place that changes from a meat and three during the day to a nice little Italian cafe at night. Did not disappoint. Started with spectacular bread followed by Chicken Parmesan and Spaghetti Bolognese. Ended with a lemoncello tart. Nice live music too.

As others write, there is a small town feel to the restaurant that is quite attractive and comfortable. Waiter service was attentive. Came here at happy hour and enjoyed a charcuterie board with wine. Portions were healthy and wine was good. Stayed for dinner: the pastas were nothing to rave about, nor to complain about. I rate atmosphere almost as important as food quality, so I would go again because the ambience was pleasant.

A little creepy after realizing almost everyone (owners, employees, customers) in the restaurant were/are members of Remnant Fellowship cult! Lost my appetite and left!

Wonderful atmosphere and great Tuscan-style cuisine. A hidden gem in the heart of Brentwood! I also love that they have live music.

Atmosphere was nice , server was friendly, food was hurting , the overcooked spaghetti noodles were like a can of Spaghetti-O's, barely any Bolognese sauce, the chicken Parm was thick and tough, we ordered Cannoli for dessert , they brought us Creme Puffs instead . The Creme Puffs were frozen solid , the pastry was hard as a rock and the whipped cream was like a frozen block of ice.Somebody needs to oversee what is coming out of the kitchen here.

Great waiting service. Small restaurant feel, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Live music was a plus. Food was fast. It was good but not amazing. The environment had a nice family feel as well. It can feel romantic and family friendly at the same time. Some seating outside out front. This is a southern cafeteria by day and Italian restaurant by night. The first time I made a reservations was for a Saturday night on yelp weeks in advance. Come to realize on the day of that they don't even have dinner service on Saturdays... and my reservation was canceled without telling me. I was upset but decided to try this place anymore and did more research on the hours. I like to support businesses during tough times, and this is one of the businesses I will give a pass to. Again, something about this place gave me great, chill vibes. Willing to come back aside from the reservation fluke...

A hidden gem in Brentwood. Warm ambiance, quiet , Italian venue with the added touch of soft live music. Food is very good , wonderful sauces at fair prices. Tasty appetizers and salads.
