The food was good. The staff was nice and made effort but not the level of professionalism that would give 5 stars. I found the noise level to be overwhelming and making it difficult to enjoy myself and any conversation with my dinner party. I would not be opposed to going back but maybe in a smaller party so we didn’t get seated in the bar area.

Out for dinner around 5:15p. Waitress was nice. Food portion was great for price. Service was kinda slow, but not terrible.
Random but the only thing I would say is the bread comes in bags. Which I don’t understand if you’re sitting, I wouldn’t want to eat out a paper bag, but bread was definitely good !

First visit and we WILL return. Steak and pork chop were perfectly cooked, glazed carrots were amazing. Server was great, very friendly. Nice selection of wines. No room for dessert but they have a nice selection.

We were greeted with a great host and he sat us right away. We were given water quickly as we waited for our waitress to take our drink orders. So we had great hopes for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case, after receiving the drinks the waitress seemed very against the specials for the night (veal). The special was mentioned but she made sound like it was terrible for some reason and didn’t explain what the dish entailed. We ordered two pizzas, the margherita and the picante. We were underwhelmed of how tasteless both pizzas were. They looked great but very skimpy with the toppings. A piece of soggy basil per slice? One piece of soppressata per slice? Seems very cheap for how much these pizzas cost. We might give it another try but very unlikely.

It was great, but the server did not listen and I’m very allergic to blue cheese dressing we asked for ranch and I had a reaction and then they wanted to charge me for the blue cheese too I had to get home for meds or hospital but left quickly
Sorry no tip Couldn’t think straight having a reaction!

Visited twice over four weeks for Happy Hour. Excellent appetizers, Meatballs, Artichoke French, and Lollipop Lamb Chops. Thumbs up to the $1 Oysters too. Best parking is behind the establishment.

Folks looks are deceiving, this is one of those reviews that I really didn’t want to do but purely had to for the sake of your wallet and dissatisfaction.
We have here a simple Chicken Marsala plate on take out. Arrived with 3 pieces of complimentary toasted bread and the plastic container wrapped in saran wrap to my surprise. I was very excited because that is not a usual practice amongst restaurants. So for presentations they certainly win. However I was quickly let down with what Joe says is one of their most popular dishes. My tastebuds reaked if flour and notes of oil, the marsala with mushroom boldness was purely just flour. I was super sad at this. I just spent $27 dollars with a $5 dollar tip “cause I picked it up.” I’m really let down by this one and regrettably with prices that high. I can get the flavor of Cicken Marsala from olive garden for way less $$. Sorry Joe, I’ll try you out again maybe in a few months, but at least I did have the courtesy to call and formally let you know. I hope next time is better. I got you on this dish though, its sauteing as we speak with the correct sauce consistency…. On a side note, prices are a bit steep. I absolutely will not be recommending!!! It’s absolutely to expensive for the low quality.
Joe.. have a little excitement when you answer the phone next time will ya? How can I help you with a really poor attitude is just so unwelcoming. You didn’t even offer to make it right, you just told me that it’s one of your most popular dishes. Which tells me you think I’m just full of it when I spoke to you. I assure you though, it’s all flour in that dish. You really have an opportunity here, get better. 🙂

We came here for dinner after hearing glowing reviews about the food, hoping for a lovely evening out. I wish I could say it lived up to the hype.
We arrived around 6:30pm and were promptly seated by a friendly hostess—so far, so good. Our server was kind and attentive, and I want to be clear: this review isn’t a reflection of his effort, which is why I gave 3 stars for his service. He did his best in what was clearly a chaotic environment.
Ambience? More like a nightclub. The music was blaring—loud and tasteless for a dinner setting. It made conversation difficult and set a jarring tone for the evening.
Cocktail bar with no cocktail menu? We waited 20 minutes just to place a drink order, only to find out there was no cocktail list. And espresso machine was down… I settled for water, confused and disappointed.
Specials were rattled off like a monologue. No printed menu, no reference—just a long-winded explanation of 2 appetizers, 3 steak options, and 3 veal dishes. It took 15 minutes to get through it all, and we were expected to remember everything. Please, just print the specials.
⏳ The wait was endless. After placing our order, it took over 90 minutes for our food to arrive. We weren’t alone—other tables were visibly frustrated. At 7:30pm, the bartender announced the kitchen was closed due to being backed up. There were maybe 5–6 tables and a few bar seats occupied. How does that overwhelm a kitchen?
Dinner was a disaster. My husband ordered a Delmonico steak with baked potato and asparagus. Just before the food arrived, we were told they were out of potatoes—so fries it was. The steak came out well done instead of medium rare, and the asparagus? Never showed up. A good cut of meat, ruined.
A kind gesture, but too little too late. Nearing the 3-hour mark, our server offered us a complimentary slice of cake to make up for the wait. Sweet, but it took another 20 minutes just to bag our leftovers. I left for the car while my husband stayed behind to pay—another 15 minutes and two reminders later, he finally cashed out.
The final straw. The next day, I opened my leftovers to reheat them and found a massive bug in the food. It was wrapped in the same container from the restaurant—absolutely revolting. That was the nail in the coffin.
This place might be better earlier in the evening, but based on our experience, we won’t be returning. The server was kind, but the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed or disorganized. Three hours of waiting, a ruined meal, and a bug in my food? No thanks.

If you go you have got to get the lasagna, loaded with meat and huge definitely will be taking some home with you.

The food was great. The appetizers, salad, main course and dessert were all great. We were there for a Christmas party.
