Out meal was more expensive than it should have been. When we reserved, we were told there was a $45 per adult minimum. We had 7 adults and 5 kids 12 and under who ordered pizza fries and pasta. The adults ordered some starters, salads and about half ordered fish. After starters and main dishes and sides were finished, the waiter informed one of the adults in the party (not the host) that people needed to order dessert because we were under the minimum, so the kids and a cpuple of adults ordered dessert although we were full, hadnt planned on it and left much of it on the table. When the bill came it was $707.00. Even taking away the 20% obligatory large party service fee, the $590 or $84 per adult is way above the $45 per adult minimum and the dessert cannot account for that, so the waiter misinformed the party and jacked up the bill. Even $45 per person for all.12 people is $540 which is $50 less than we were charged before the 20% service. If you have a large party, beware of this upsell and the mandatory 20% service fee. Great food, good service. The decor in the back room where they put us because of the kids is plain, not like the front of the restautant which is elegant, festive and lovely. If not for the jacking up the price experience, I would rate the restaurant 5 stars. The food was great and one can order a very healthy meal.as well as an indulgent one. Plenty of kid friendly food and options too. The service was also excellent as it should be for 20%.
The food is delicious and the prices are fantastic! I highly recommend this place! You absolutely have to try the mac and cheese balls—they're extraordinary!
Went here with a few friends so we got to try a nice amount of their different dishes, and everything was delicious. The Branzino had to be reordered for dessert. From appetizers to their pastas everything was 10/10 Service was very good, the staff were very friendly and checked in on us the just the right amount of times. Will definitely be coming back here!
5 Stars all around! Extremely accommodating with last minute party booking for 30-40 ppl, great service and food was amazing! Kudos to Tony who handled everyone including the kids so calmly and with a smile! Would highly recommend.
Food was delicious, the stuffed mushrooms appetizers are a must try. Place was packed on a summer Sunday afternoon but notwithstanding the service was great. Very impressed overall.
