    Warm and cozy atmosphere. Soft live piano music. Everything was delicious and cooked to our liking. Food was spaced out, not rushed at all.

    This is a resturant you'd want to take your wife or husband to for a delightful meal. It's a high end resturant with a grand piano in the middle of the main dining area. It's played by an expert pianist. You'll enjoy yourself, guaranteed. But you'll need to dust off your wallet... LOL

    First time guests. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Leo our server was exceptional along with amazing food. Tableside ceasar salad was perfectly made. Everyone enjoyed their main course. Tasty and favorable. Excellent presentation. We concluded our dinner with tableside cherries jubilee. Wonderfully prepared and amazing in taste. Great dinner to celebrate a birthday. Looking forward to many more visits for great dining experiences!

    Quite busy for a lunchtime with a selection of business contacts, a few tourists and what looked like a few members of the local WI (mature ladies who lunch). The deli sandwiches with accompaniments looked good, plentiful and fairly good value for money. We went for starters and mains which were very tasty, hot and well-seasoned. Service was prompt BUT without being rushed in-between each course. Staff were quite attentive on taking orders, service of meals/clearing empty plates and the pouring of wine. From overhearing a later diner, it appeared that there may have been specials on offer, but we were not made aware of this. One negative was condition of the carpet and edges. Not sure when a hover/dustpan and brush was last used, but both were in dire need of introduction to each other.

    The food was amazing our server was very pleasant and attentive. There seemed to be an extra ordinary long time Between the salad and the entrée (there were some private parties going on, so maybe we got behind their order). But it was worth waiting for. The piano player is way too loud no need for a harmonica or accordion, we must’ve heard happy birthday 20 times & very loudly! This should be soft music It is a fine dining experience-it should not be difficult to hold a conversation.

    This used to be one of our favorites. While the decor and service were good, we found the music (piano player) was too loud for a nice evening out. We would also appreciate "specials" being printed out with descriptions and prices. With over 10 appetizer and entree specials verbally described, it was confusing. I'm sure there are many people, like us, who hesitate to ask the cost of off menu items (server does not tell you) and are shocked when the bill comes. They upsell the tableside caesar salad (extra $20), 21.50 for a small raw tuna appetizer, 72.00 for skirt steak. We may return for lunch but only order off the regular menu.

    Everything we've ever enjoyed here has been exquisite. Perfect meals, attentive service, every time. I always order the Steak Lady Diana which is prepared tableside. I didn't need a knife to cut the generous filets. My husband ordered a pasta dish with veal, shrimp and scallops which he very much enjoyed also. The pasta is made in-house. The bread is always delicious and was served with whipped butter and house made hummus, salads were crisp and very fresh and the steamed vegetables served with my entree were perfection. Reservations are always recommended.
