Would NEVER go here. We were planning a small event and willing to spend $3,000.00 plus for 35 people. We were only anticipating appetizers and a glass of wine per person. We were treated so rudely that we chose to take our money and small event elsewhere. The saddest part is this was booked way in advance and it is for the celebration of life for both of my cousins’ parents. It’s unfortunate that people can be so unkind and rude. I’ve never in my life had this problem anywhere.

They have vegetarian lasagna with spinach noodles! I really like vegetarian lasagna with spinach noodles and have a somewhat hard time finding it. When I found it on their site, I emailed their website about ordering a take home and bake order. They texted me back on a day they weren’t even open and confirmed what I wanted to order. They had my order ready the next day they were open.

Ate there for the first time yesterday and it has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The service was excellent, food came quickly. Our waiter was phenomenal. We got really big portions and they added extra sauce for reheating. Even the water was good. 10/10 would recommend this place!

We got carry out seafood lasagne for 8 and a pan of salad. The lasagne was in a cardboard box which helped keep it warm, but it leaked all over my lap and car seat. I was holding it at a bit of an angle in bucket seats but didn’t expect it to be so watery. It did taste good but would be even better if it was held together by a thick sauce. As it was, it was noodles, seafood with cheese on top. The salad was nothing special but the recommended house made ranch dressing was delicious. The food was ready right on time and we were not offered a receipt.

Seafood Lasagna was incredible and the prime rib didn’t disappoint. Staff was friendly and attentive and the ambience inside the restuarant was lovely.

Beautiful decor, huge servings! A bit pricey and the layers of flavors are all there, but they haven’t melded. Our party of four agreed none of us would order our dish if we visited again. Can’t quite out my finger on what’s missing???

The food and atmosphere are great, but the best part was our waiter Kenny. The man is an absolute gem and a treasure. He made our evening truly memorable. Will we be back for more lasagna? Yes of course. But secretly we will be coming back for more Kenny.
