I was impressed with it all, from making reservations, the ambiance of the place, the friendly service and the amazing food. they also have wine for sale at a good price ranging from whatever your budget is and they have a variety to choose from. I'd definitely come back

All the food was filled with amazing flavors. The appetizers were on point. The candied glazed bacon with fresh cheeses, olives, artichokes, and flat bread was my favorite! The shrimp fondue was incredible! A must try. Our dinner plates were delicious. From the Salmon ALEJANDRO (Keto friendly) to non menu item of Chicken Piccatta. The pork chops were huge and delicious. The Ribeye steak was perfectly seasoned and not overcooked. The linguine clams were perfect. Does not matter what you order, all is fantastic. Reservations recommended. Expect to pay a little more per plate but well worth it.

The atmosphere reminded me of a Italian movie or show like the Sopranos. Our waitress Christina was absolutely amazing! She was very knowledgeable when it came to the menu and the wine menu. She made several recommendations and gave honest opinions. Food came out pretty quick and everything was amazing! I tried the Beef Stroganoff from the lunch menu and it was amazing. Not as creamy as I like, but it was still really good and rich with flavor. The beef was cooked perfectly! The two different types of wine that were recommended will have me stopping in for bottles from time to time. They were both phenomenal! If you stop in in the daytime during the week be sure to ask for Christina as your waitress!

At that moment, we were the only African American patrons in the restaurant. While we waited for our table to be “prepared,” the presumed manager came out to greet us. However, a large group of 10-13 people arrived and were seated immediately. Sadly, we continued to wait, standing at the entrance for another couple who clearly had not finished their meal to pay and leave before we could potentially be seated. My husband and I ultimately decided to take our business elsewhere. It’s disheartening to go through the effort of making a reservation only to feel sidelined due to the perception that we did not fit the establishment's target audience because of our skin color. As a dual military couple with over 30 years of combined service to this country, and as people who love this area, we cannot recommend this restaurant to our fellow service members who work hard and may cherish a simple date night.
