Great atmosphere and service! Highly recommend the cannelloni. I thought the chicken broccoli alfredo (can’t remember the actual name) was meh - perfectly fine but nothing special.

My sisters and I have a tradition of meeting here, and CJ was fabulous tonight to say the very least. He was funny, friendly, and just very kind. When he’d run out of cranberry juice, he was super apologetic and offered really delicious alternatives. He was on point with the recommendations as well. Overall, combined with the lively yet subtly detailed environment, the flavors and expertise the food is cooked with, CJ tied the whole experience together. Yes, the menu can feel...
