    Great food, red snapper was perfect and my husband enjoyed the wild boar. Service was great, there for what you need but not hovering. Only issue was air blowing from the ceiling was cool on our backs. We were moved which was better.

    Service was terrible! We waited 50 min before our waitress took our order. There was free bread and we asked our server 3 times for some bread. It came 50 minutes after we were seated. We waited about 30 min before someone took our drink order. Then they brought me the wrong wine and I waited another 0 min for her to bring me the right wine. The food was horrible. My husband returned his chicken Marsala. It was dry and very little sauce. The seafood in the seafood linguini was not edible. Rubbery, Sandy and gross. It took an entire 2 hours to finish our meal and we didn’t even have time for coffee or dessert as we were going to a concert that started at 9. Despite my husband returning his meal, the bill was still over 100.00. There was no apology from the waitress or even acknowledgement about the wait times Do not eat here.

    Was looking forward to a Tenderloin but when I found out it came with a roasted tomato and carrots for the $ value it was a sure no, add a potato and it would have been a yes. We also ordered the Flounder and again was disappointed, who breads a dish and then reverses it by adding a liquid turning it to a soggy mess, the mussels had a tangy/ weird taste, had to return a drink because the lime was bad. On the good side was the Lasagna and the wild boar, I can’t say we’d return, maybe only to try The Plum restaurant

    Our visit was supposed to be a special birthday treat for my mom. Although we requested and reserved a nice table, we were seated next to the stairs in a very busy area. The service was abysmal, we waited over 15 minutes before our drinks were served. Our mains took about an hour to get to us, and we weren’t able to wait for dessert. Food quality was ok. The tenderloin was great, however the lasagna tasted like store bought. Our waitress disappeared at some point and we had to ask another waiter to get our bill. Our dining service took almost 1hr 45minutes and was not a pleasant experience. We will not be back.

    Need to have more Gluten feed choices. Having simply grilled fish would solve the issue as an option to breaded fish. Very nice evening as usual. Thank you

    The musles were fantastic. I had seafood pasta and it was outstanding. My spouse had a mushroom based pasta. The taste was very good, however, the pasta was a bit overcooded and sticking together.

    The brunch is a lot of food and deliciously prepared. The waitress was friendly and effiicient. Food presentation outstanding.. Only little things are: 1) for the salad it could have used more dressing ( I should have asked for it ) 2) for the poached eggs I asked for almost hard but it was very runny. I don't know if you would consider a lighter brunch for us seniors-eg 1 egg and less options. However, I am grateful you were able to provide a box so I did not waste your delicious food! Can't wait to try the steak in the evening for dinner. Cheers! Highly recommend especially with those with generous appetite!

    It would be nice if I could order a simple plate of pasta with sauce. No meat. It would also be nice if the steaks came with choice of potato such as baked, garlic mashed, etc... More vegetables would be good.

    Excellent food and great service. We had the tasty bruschetta. I had the fish which was cooked to perfection and came with very tasty gnocchi. My friend had the Boar with pappardelle. They no longer had Panna cotta but the choco-hazelnut dessert made up for it.

    I want to write a five star review because the staff are so nice and accommodating but unfortunately management needs to provide them with a little more support. We attended Sunday brunch with a reservation. After being seated, we waited about 20 minutes for anyone at all to acknowledge us. And tbh, the place didn’t seem that busy. Finally, the bartender noticed and became our server! He made best efforts but wasn’t able to really explain the 5 course brunch process. We had mushroom soup which was delicious but lukewarm. This seemed to be the theme for the rest of meal courses. The Caesars were great and our server, who appeared towards the end, was extremely pleasant. The staff really did their best but management should probably revisit staff levels or whatever. That said, I’ll return as I have for the past 5 or 6 times.
