"Quite possibly the best Italian restaurant in the state. We travel and always try Italian. Exceptional service to start. Nice selection of wines. We went with a Frank Family Cab. Ordered the Almond Crusted Halibut. Just wow! Your choice of soup or salad. Lovely desserts to choose from. Spumoni is our favorite."

"The service here is among the best I've experienced in a very long time. The food was very good and came out in a timely manner. I highly recommend the corned beef hash breakfast. Parking is easy in their off street lot."

"The service, staff and food were great. However we had a problem with another customer who was an older gentleman and made a very rude comment about our kids and that we shouldn't take them out if we can't control them. Our kids were fine and didn't bother their table once, or any other table. We actually had a table next to us comment on how great and cute our kids were. It was primarily older customers there, so maybe that's the majority of the clientele here. Made me feel like it's not a place you want to bring your family to if you have kids, unfortunately. But like I said the staff was awesome and the food was delicious."

"This visit was for a dinner meeting held in one of the rooms they have available for events. As such, it may not be representative of a normal experience in their restaurant. That said, the food we had (provided buffet style) was good with a good variety of vegetable and meat dishes. They did seem to be a bit short-handed, as we often had to wait for a server to show up at the cash bar that was set up. What I saw of the rest of the restaurant looked nice. I might visit again if I'm ever back in the area, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to go here."

"Been going here for quite a long time it's our go-to place for Christmas parties and our yearly award banquets and agent appreciation dinners. The food is always excellent the service is always exceptional. Never let us down."
