Poor service and kitchen management

by diner0060

The wait staff was poorly trained, the chef was out in the dining area not tending to the preparation. The veal was overpowered by the thyme, my wife's shrimp risotto was garnished with cocktail shrimp placed on top as an afterthought. People were friendly but the food and service will thrump a return visit

Make a special trip

by vsc63002

I was 100% satisfied with my experience. The service was perfect with good knowledge of the food and wine list. There are a lot of great choices for apps and even the fried options had a distinct light quality. The entrees were prompt and delicious with an excellent presentation. Contrary to other reviews, meats were all cooked perfectly to order. Tell your friends.
