Our family all loved our food, the service was outstanding and the ambience beautiful. One member of our family has Celiac disease and was able to find multiple options for meal choices and really enjoyed his dinner.

The entree wasn't as good as usual but everything else was great Waitress nice but we spent a lot of time waiting for service Things can't be perfect all the time We will be back as it is one of our favorites

This was our second visit. As always, it was very busy. Our wait staff was attentive given the busy-ness. I was disappointed with my Autumn Gnocchi dish~ I have never had gnocchi that seemed fried or however it was prepared and I thought it was quite skimpy on the broccolini and cauliflower. My salmon was awesome. My husband and one of our friends liked their choices. One friend who got the lasagna said it was good but that he had had better. So yes, I would come back but I will...
