    Service was excellent. We sat in the front of the restaurant and watched out the excitement outside. Food was food we ordered from the lunch special we each ordered a drink not knowing price. The cost was over what we paid for one meal.

    I took my aunt for her85th birthday lunch and we loved out experience! The risotto with scallops was delicious, as well as the zucchini fritters with a yogurt red pepper sauce… and the server was terrific, and when one of our main dishes wasn't what was expected, there was no charge for the dish, and Shawn, the manager, was super cool as well. And my aunt's birthday dessert called the chocolate dream, was delicious. We will definitely return for brunch or dinner soon…

    The service and ambience were lovely but unfortunately two our of our three plates of food were not good. If you go to this restaurant don't order the mini ravioli appetizer which was cold and tasteless. Also my mixed grill was terrible, full of a terrible gooey brown sauce all over the meat. My friend's branzino was good.

    "Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service and ambiance. However, we sincerely apologize that two of your dishes didn't meet your expectations. Your comments about the mini ravioli appetizer and mixed grill have been noted, and we'll make sure to review them with our kitchen team. We truly appreciate your input and will strive to improve. We're happy that your friend's branzino was to your liking, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time. Thank you for your visit!"

    It was a fun and lively jazz brunch. A little hard to talk and tables close together. However, we enjoyed the food very much, the drinks were great. We also enjoyed the bottomless brunch special which was a good deal. We had a birthday among us, and they did a nice job celebrating with sparklers. Would recommend!!!
