The Food is great and service as well. The pastas were tasty and the octopus appetizer was delicious as well. Several desserts were all fabulous. They do charge a credit card fee, charge for bread and serve soda in a can. It's also very expensive for what you are getting as it's not an experience, it's just dinner.
To be fair it was Valentines Day so very, very busy. It is a small space and crazy packed. This took away from the special experience. The special lobster bisque was excellent, but the grilled lobster served as an entree was a bit dry. Pesto pasta was great. Good selection of fine Italian wine by the glass. Desert (bread pudding) was also excellent. I will return but not on Valentines Day.

Dinner and environment were excellent. Frederick is a great host and we enjoyed discussing wines with him. Appetizers (carrots, cauliflower, artichokes) were amazing. House specialty rigatoni with pesto was exceptional. Great evening!!
