And we were told that the whiskey that we ordered was $18 a shot, but charged $27. This is very wrong, hence the 3 star review.

The wine room is available for regular dining and can also be reserved for private parties. They even offer a valet parking service. The restaurant boasts an impressive Italian wine selection stored in a massive wine cellar. Be sure to try the zucchini flowers as an appetizer; they are an absolute must! No matter what you choose from the menu, you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I ordered the gamberoni oreganata, while my daughter chose the rabbit cacciatore, which she claimed was delicious. We were enjoying our meals until I reached my third shrimp, which was completely mushy. I was taken aback and wondered how this could happen if everything is made to order. However, the real disappointment came when I brought it to their attention. I was only met with an apology from the chef, and no action was taken. A complimentary dessert, even just for the three of us to share, would have been a nice touch.
