"Food was ok. Waiter did a good job. Loved the music played in the background and the piano guy! Drinks were pretty good."

"This is my second time ever coming here but I must say it's very eloquent and has a sophistication to it that I highly enjoy. Dignified in nature and is a hidden gem, as there isn't much publicity on this place. So that is another thing I enjoy. The waiters and waitresses are great as well. Also best of luck to my fellow farmer trying to get his way into the medical field."

"This was our 1st visit to TC and we happened upon this place and checked out the menu that was posted in the window. The wife had a taste for Bruschetta and it was on the menu so we went in. The hostess asked us if we had a reservation, which we didn't, but seated us right away. The Bruschetta WAS AWESOME!! We also got the Tomato Caprese which was even slightly better than the Bruschetta! The baguette was served warm and with dipping sauce but was $3.00 extra. My wife had Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and thought it was really good especially if you like your Alfredo sauce thick! Much thicker than most places. I had an Italian Susage dish with penne pasta, marinara and backed cheese on it. I can't remember the exact name if the dish, sorry. It was good however the sausage was ground up like hamburger so it had a lot of sausage in it so it had a very strong sausage taste to it. I prefer my sausage in chuck's but I cant hold that against them. Very good food, service was fantastic and prices were a in line with a tourist destination restaurant. We recommend it and think you will enjoy it."

"On a Friday night we waited about an hour for a table, which wasn't bad and they text us when it was ready so we could walk around downtown. The food was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend going here. The Surf and Turf is a fillet mignon on a cheese and crab risotto and honestly was some of the best risotto I've ever had. I tried everyone else's dishes and not one was bad. Prices are reasonable for what you get. We will for sure go again!"

"Underwhelming. I made a reservation for a table for my wife and I for our anniversary. When we arrived they told us that our reservation was for their sister restaurant, Slate. They found us a table upstairs. The room upstairs looked like the place they put people they didn't want to deal with. It was shabby and not posh looking at all. The server was nice and attentive. The brushetta tasted good, but was soggy. The eggplant parmesan had good flavor and was crispy. The carbonara was bland. I was really looking forward to dessert as many reviewers had posted pictures of cannolli. They did not have any cannolli. Needless to say, we both left disappointed, without dessert."
