We had two servers that were friendly, attentive and professional that improved our experience. They brought us a birthday desssert, the best Tiramisu ever, on the house. We recommend this restaurant.

Eating was good, except to begin Focaccia bread was dry and crumbling. The Italian Manhattan lacked cherries, but was very good. The sea sheds were phenomenal, grilled chicken with pasta vodka sauce had a spice that did not have the rest of the plate compliment. Service was great.

The day before our reservation, we were warned that service might be slow due to two other parties of six dining at the same time, and we received another reminder upon arrival. Our waitress took our orders and confirmed them, but when the meals arrived, we noticed several issues. Our appetizers never arrived, the waffles came out loaded with toppings when we had specifically ordered them plain (and it took 20 minutes to get a correct order), and the blueberry pancakes were undercooked in the center. We sent them back, and it took over 20 minutes to receive a new order, which unfortunately was burned. The server did offer to comp the pancakes, which was a nice gesture. As for the other meals, they were okay but nothing noteworthy. The server seemed overwhelmed and it was difficult to get her attention throughout our visit.
