Made reservations and were seated right away. All the staff was really nice and attentive. They give you bread and a garlic olive spread which was delicious because the subtle olive flavor blends in perfectly with the garlic. I got the Cajun shrimp which were juicy and well seasoned. It comes with four jumbo shrimp and then there's like a palm sized portion of a soft breading under. I'm not sure what it's called but it was also really good and the roasted peppers complimented the whole dish so well. My date got the lollipop lamb chops (medium) and they were so juicy and perfect, we literally couldn't have asked for better. Not pictured are the garlic mashed potatoes we got as a side and they were so creamy and delicious. I have to say, the showstopper was the peanut butter creme brulee. The top layer was burnt just right and thin and it was really creamy and so flavorful that you can't stop eating it but you also never want it to end. It's literally the best creme brulee I've ever had and I went to a tech high school for culinary so that's saying something. The atmosphere was nice and tranquil and the bathroom was also well decorated and clean. 10/10 would highly recommend if you want to spend a good bit of money for a great night out.

Im not sure where to begin. If no stars was possible it is what it would get. Came here to celebrate family graduating so we were in the the back hall for about 20 of us. My mother ordered mashed potatoes and a few bites into it, she stops on a bite to pull out a fairly decent size piece of like RUBBER. Seemed like a piece of spatula! Report it to the waitress and the best she could say was "im sorry for that." Later comes back around to say she comped them. Never even offered to replace it. If that wasn't bad enough, my sister eating a shrimp scampi meal half way through it forks up a PURPLE PAPER CLIP!!! Just mixed right in with her food. Unbelievable. Report it to waitress again and still just a pathetic im sorry well comp your meal. You would think at this point the manager would come out, but nothing. I don't think she every actually reported it. However, it made for the rest of dinner a skeptical one. This was my first and last time! Aside from all that, the food was overall blan, over priced, and the service was just as blan. Needless to say this was an over $800.00 party so there was no concern of getting a meal comped but not receiving the proper common restaurant courtesy disgusts me.

Came in with a group of 10 for my friends 30th birthday. Booked for 12:15 for lunch. We arrived and were excited to try the food because most people had never been before. Waitress was nice enough, answered questions took our orders and set off on sending the food to the kitchen. It took THIRTY minutes for the starter SALADS to hit the table, (let me also say there were only THREE tables in the entire restaurant). Another 30 minutes pass and we finally got our entrees. By this time we had been in the restaurant for almost two hours. When I went to find the waitress, who never asked if anyone wanted another drink, didn’t come to refill waters etc, she was on her cell phone and was put out when I mentioned we needed the checks because we had to leave and the food took an hour to get to the table. Would like to give this place another try, the house salad was nice and the entrees were good but the speed and service was far from what I was hoping for for a lunch service with three tables in the restaurant.

Went here for dinner at 630 on Sunday night, called in to reserve the night before. It was a great experience overall with great food and great service. The young servers we had was very attentive. Our food did not take long, despite Sunday night it was not too busy so maybe that was why, but it was raining and gloomy outside so weather may have impacted lesser crowd situation. We had oyster for appetizer. I normally do NOT like oysters, at all, but I actually liked it here! We then tried chocolate martini drink, wow,it was delicious! My main dish was the anti pasta shrimp dish, it was enough for me as my dinner meal. It was 4 jumbo shrimp with bell peppers, fried bread of some sort underneath. The shrimp was very flavorful and it was THE best shrimp I had from a restaurant!! I had A LOT of shrimp dishes(I love shrimp) but this really was the best . Oh, the free bread and dipping sauce was good!! Overall, The food was the best Italian food I have ever had! I definitely would come back here again.

The atmosphere was beautiful and our server was great. Our son was hungry and she made sure our food came out quickly! The bread and olive dip was very good. The pizza was decent. Crispy edges but soggy middle. The sauce and cheese was very tasty. The dressing on the salad was good but the lettuce itself had seen better days. The chicken tenders were real chicken but tasted like fish. Maybe shared a fryer. The fries were good though. My husband got the chicken parm and didn't like the breading on it. (I ate the cheese off his) I got the eggplant parm and only had 2 bites. I did eat all the sauce and cheese. The sauce and mozzarella are very good. The pasta was to die for. I normally don't eat pasta but had to try it and so glad I did. I ordered my son pasta with just olive oil on it and it was delicious! They definitely put garlic and basil on it. My son didn't like it because it wasn't just olive oil but it was very good. My husband also ate all the pasta that came with his meal.
