Mixed bag. I really wanted to like this place. First off, it’s nice inside and we were there when it was really slow. The service was exceptional. They treated us like we were the only people there (:D). We had the Arancini balls, which are lightly breaded/fried rice balls with cheese inside, in a tomato sauce setting with graded cheese. Really good. My Bloody Mary was great too. I ordered the Chicken Caprese, which was not good. I’m normally not overly picky, so this is hard for me to type. It was rubbery and somewhat tough. My wife blamed it on “how the chickens were raised”, and that’s why she only buys certain brands of chicken. My counter was that the restaurant should have the same intel and know where to buy good chicken. This is an upscale restaurant, so I would expect that is a given. The grilled vegetables and other ingredients were tasty, but overall this dish was a flop.
My wife got the spaghetti and meatball dish, which was excellent! I tried it and she confirmed it was one of the best meatballs she’s had at a restaurant. That’s high praise (say in a nicholas cage voice). So I think I picked a bummer of a dish. I won’t write this place off, but will give it another shot, but will definitely not be getting chicken here again.

We went here on a double date and had a great time! We made reservations and we were seated as soon as we checked in! We ordered the cheesy garlic bread as an app, yummy! This was valentines weekend and they had a special menu. Great drink options! I had the Chicken Caprese(pic). It was very good and the special salad was worth the up charge! Over all a great place to try! Everyone in our party had a great meal and a good time! The service was also very good!

Grace was great and so quick about everything, as well as kind. The food was good overall. My partner had the chicken parm and I had the chicken caprese, my chicken was very very dry but loved the veggies with it. Drinks were quick and atmosphere is definitely more sports bar/casual vibe.

We went on New Years eve, had reservations for 4 people. Fast service, attentive waitress. Ordered the surf n turf. The steak was delicious, lobster was ok, nothing to brag about. I wouldn’t nessacarily make a special trip back, but it is worth checking out.

Excellent cuisine! The Thursday special was slow cooked beef short ribs which were excellent and appetizer was bacon wrapped scallops which are always amazing. Highly recommend. Another visit we had beef short rib pasta which was delicious and the strip steak with mash potatoes and veggies. Huge portion sizes! Also came with soup or salad. The cream of mushroom soup is divine!

This place is wonderful and I always enjoy the food. The mussels are our favorite but you really can’t go wrong here. We love the bacon wrapped scallops and mushroom soup as well. Right now they have a Fall Cocktail Menu which has many tasty cocktails.

So I’ve been here multiple times in the past. Tonight there was a band which was nice.
We ordered the Italian nachos. These were very greasy. We’ve gotten them in the past and we’re excellent
For my main meal I have Bella Rigatoni. It took forever to get our meals even though we were one the only ones eating. It was okay. The chicken was pretty dry.
My wife had a side salad with her and it was the special salad. She had maybe a couple bites and couldn’t finish it because the salad was drenched. She also had the Chicken Parmigiana and here chicken was also very dry.
We know the owners and love supporting them so we will be back but if this was our first experience I don’t think we’d be back.

The Parks Kiwanis club came fourth, and offered 6ft. Pumpkin inflatables for the event, we managed to pass all our candy out, as this was a great event that supports Gigis Playhouse.

Nice place, big bar area. The vibe is cool. Ordered the chicken cesar salad it was good 7/10. I also had their clam chowder that was good also 7/10.
I ordered their chicken parm, didn’t expect it to be so big. Hella pasta, hella sauce and two big chicken cutlet. Portions are great now for the actually flavor of the tomato sauce… very bland no flavor to be honest. It was disappointing because I’m a huge fan of tomato sauce/marinara. They should ask the customer if they want a different portions of sauce. The chicken cutlet was a bit disappointing as well. Expect some better seasoning. I give it a 5/10 it wasn’t bad but wasn’t good either.

The food was amazing, great portion sizes. The staff is friendly and attentive. Enjoyed our evening very much and will definitely be back.
The rigatoni was the absolute best. There was a lot of grilled chicken in the dish and the flavors were amazing. We topped off the evening with lemon cake. It was light and refreshing.
