    Excellent experience. Would very highly recommend. One minor point: with a full house, piped in music was superfluous.

    Server was very attentive and helpful in making selections. We shared a salad and split and each ordered an entree. The salad with the green beans had great flavors but had a little too much salad dressing for our liking. I would order the dressing in the side. The Chicken in Chicken Parmesan was fantastic. The ravioli was good but not great. All in all a nice meal out. We would definitely go back.

    The food was amazing with great service and hospitality. the atmosphere was a bit noisy but that is to be expected as the dinner was on a Saturday evening when the restaurant is at its busiest. Take note that it is a more expensive restaurant, although you definitely get what you pay for.

    IbN has been very good until last night. It was so hot outside and inside; there is even no ventilation? Half an hour later, there was a floor fan set up and blowing to the table behind us. But why? No one tells us “ hey there is no air flowing in this restaurant “; and even after a fan setup for the table behind us, still no one asking us “hey do you five need a fan as well?” Are we five not welcomed? Very disappointed.
