    Our first time. Food was great I had Lobster Ravioli and my wife had Shrimp Blue Eyes. I'm not a tirimsu fan, but my wife loves it, and said it was the best she has had. Bread was great.

    Our waiter was busy and John helped us after my son accidentally had marinara stains on his shirt, I asked for soda water he kindly brought us some and when that didn’t work he brought a tide stick. My son needed his shirt for a college presentation Monday morning. As busy as he was he helped my son, boxed my food and told me how to hear it up to make it taste just as good. John is an amazing example of thoughtfulness and kindness.

    Our group of seven was first seated at a rectangular table but before we were even approached by our server the hostess returned and asked us if we would be more comfortable at a nearby round table…what a table upgrade! Our server Dominic was absolutely top notch, anticipated our needs without being too present! Appetizers, wine, entrees and desserts all top notch with some seriously big portions! Just a really impressive experience! By the way six out of our seven have a combined 100 years plus of foodservice experience so we know the difference between good and great!

    Great themed restaurant...Sinatra &Martin photos throughout. Executed in an upscale way. Our server,John,was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is quite large. We were seated in a smaller,side dining room. The room became quite loud due to a large party. Otherwise the experience was very pleasant and delicious.
