Appetizers were awesome too with shrimp cocktail and crab stuffed mushrooms. The only blemish was the burnt green beans but the spicy potatoes with onions were delicious. The veal chop portion was enough for 3 people. Service from Juan was very good and timely. All in all, great meal.

Even though we made reservations, they seated us next to the door, which wasn't ideal. The restaurant got quite noisy, making it hard to hear the person across from me. The bread served was hard, and the only toppings were a small amount of butter or olive oil—nothing to write home about. While the thin chicken Parmesan was decent, it didn't stand out. The tomato sauce was a letdown as well; it didn't taste fresh at all. I requested mine to be made without salt, but I was told it couldn't be done because it was already prepared. (By the way, it wasn't salty to begin with). Anthony's chicken Parmesan is far superior. Considering the price and quality of the food, I walked away feeling let down. Dietary restrictions: they wouldn't accommodate a request for a salt-free dish.

We had a 6pm reservation and noted on reservation it was for our anniversary. Replaced forks were just stacked next to one of us rather than placed because there was no room next to plates. Great cocktails never asked if we wanted another round until it was too late to consider it. Calamari was huge rings and not that crispy. Very generous portion, but very different than what I was expecting. It seemed obvious we didn't enjoy it as we ate 20% of it our server never checked in with us, but an attendant came by to ask we wanted it to take home.. and boxed it up he did not speak English, so we just said yes might as well see if we can fix it at home to our liking. No mention of anniversary so why ask what the occasion is when reserving?
