   With recommendations --- a bit different than how it has been in past years especially this past 2019. Heard there is a new chef here somany a little adjustment period is required. Was served and waited on by bar manager who in spite of it being a quiet night was enamored with two 40 something females and hovered around their table. Dinner was served minus silverware and when he strolled over to ask how things were 5 minutes later he joked about it. Not the level that you were at .... sorry !

   A wonderful,place for dinner. Great setting downtown. Service was terrific- they were careful about my wife’s garlic allergy. Very attendant. The menu is always interesting with plenty of choices. Good wine list as well. Prices are appropriate for the type of restaurant.

   Last minute dinner with another couple local to the area who suggested Ceia. Seated right on time for our reservation, (6:30PM). Oddly, they were out of the Nightly Special entry AND special cocktail - seemed a bit early to run out. We were seated on Floor 3 - charming - but service was slow. Drinks took 20 mins with the bar within chatting distance. But we had fun catching up so didn't really affect things too much. Meals were VERY good. I had the Seared tuna appetizer as my meal, but Tuna was cooked medium (NOT seared) but flavorful, so didn't complain But if I was expecting more typical rare, I would have been disappointed. The 2 guys both had the Garganelli pasta with braised pork in a pesto cream sauce which was DELISH! We all shared bites. Modest to small sized portions, but good for our waist line. Waitstaff was pleasant, a bit slow, but the kitchen is on the lower floor. We weren't rushed at all which made it less stressful. Overall a good experience. But under different circumstance we may have been irritated.

   Very nice place! Exposed brick, simple decor. The food was really good and the server was delightful! Overall it was a lovely experience. I will say it was a limited menu and a little expensive compared to other places in the area but I would go back again.

   Great service! The food was creative and delicious. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. She had an extensive wine knowledge and recommended a great bottle of wine. The hostess was extremely polite and personable. This is a great place, it's cozy and inviting, we were tempted to stay longer but had to get home! We cant wait to go back and bring our friends.

    Reservation but sat about 20min late. Nice table tho & I think they might have comp’d us our drink at the bar but I forgot to ask my husband. Food was good but I think the wait staff was spread a little thin, a bit between sitting and drink orders & apps. There were 4 of us and two meals arrived, then about 10’min later the other two, so not timed very well. Food was good ambiance was really nice.
