Our server, Austin, was excellent! Energetic with a constant smile on his face, he checked on us periodically and ensured everything was as we expected. My spouse’s cherry milkshake hit the spot. The buffalo chicken sandwiches were good (they would be great if they were grilled rather than fried). The folks at the host stand were helpful in assisting me in getting my spouse in and out of the door. Thank you!

This lively place is awesome. Our group had a mix of great pasta and we all enjoyed it. I had the Bolognese and added the meatball. Oh, that meatball! A meal in itself and so very tasty! Caesar salad was also delish, and that focaccia bread is now one of my favorites. This is a pricey spot, but with the excellent service, ambiance and food - worth it.
