Love the cherry wood furniture and color scheme. Very Italian decor with blues Brothers and gangstas. Would be nice with soft Italian or classic music in background. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Had a drink at bar after they suggested as we were early for our reservation. The place was half filled and we noticed only one server for the room so maybe that's why we couldn't be seated early. The bar area wasn't busy so it was very nice.. The drinks delicious! The mojito was crisp with such nice flavors. My husband ordered the French Connection which contained Grey goose, lemonade and elderflower liquor. It was also prepared well. I had the French onion soup and my husband the pot stickers for apps. Both were tasty. They also serve a bean sauce with bread that was different but flavorsome. I ordered the chicken Cordon Bleu dinner and subbed the mashed potatoes for sweet potato fries. There was a $4 substitution. My husband ordered the filet and subbed his mash potatoes with risotto... that was a $12 substitution. The steamed broccoli and carrot were eh..... it was probably the only thing I didn't eat. The dinners were really good otherwise. We ordered a chocolate mouse type dessert with caramel that was average. This was one of the more expensive restaraunts we've been to. Two drinks each, two apps, 2 dinners and a dessert over $200. The food was good and the place was really nice. Our server Jennifer was attentive and you could tell very experienced..... We may go back for a special occasion in the future but not just for a date night ....

When we were seated, we requested a booth but were told it was reserved for a later party, even though there were other available tables. Additionally, I asked to change a sauce on one of our appetizers and was charged a $2 fee for it, which seemed unnecessary. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was good and my date made the night even better. I would give her a 5-star rating, just like a McDonald's happy meal.

While we waited for our table, we were provided with a lovely espresso cup-sized sip of soup. Reservations are highly recommended as we had to wait 30-40 minutes for a table at the bar. The only issue I encountered was when the person who delivered my food insisted that the onion ring was made with a cornstarch-based tempura batter, despite my wheat allergy which our waiter was aware of. Unfortunately, it turned out to not be safe for me to eat as I had a reaction to it. I had one bite based on her assurance before our waiter rushed over to take it away, mentioning that the chef had already left for the day. I plan to return to the restaurant, but will be extra cautious with different people delivering the food than our waiter.

The drinks were strong but still tasty. The appetizers made it hard to leave room for dinner. Andthe dinner made us want to try and find room for more bites. By the end, we took a lot to go which they boxed for us. Best ofall, THEY LABELED THE BOXES!!! The atmosphere was nice as the seating isn 't all in one big room that can get loud during a rush.All the food we had is pictured but we ordered mostly off the specials menu so go soon! (Except the crème brûlée cheesecakethat had to be taken to go... and that I 'm eating while I write this!

Reservations are highly recommended. We were not in a hurry so we were able to wait the 30-40 minutesuntil a table was available at the bar. The only problem I had was the person who delivered my food insisted the onion ring wasa cornstarch based tempura batter when I said I had a wheat allergy (which our waiter knew about). It was not, or contaminatedenough that I reacted to it. I had one bite based on her insistence it was safe before our waiter rushed over to take it sayingthe chef was gone (at like 730) and he wasn't sure. I will be back but just be extra cautious with different people deliveringthe food than the waiter.
