Overall a very nice visit. The chicken trio(while tasty) seems to get smaller and smaller with each visit the spinach side was plentiful and also tasty. Cora delivered exceptional service throughout the visit. Overall - wonderful evening

I have to be honest I'm not really an Italian eater much per se but my wife wanted to go so I decided what the hell I'll take her she loves Italian I just ordered two appetizers the meatballs and the crab cakes the meatballs came to me totally cold even though the tray that they come in was totally hot I didn't understand that the crab cakes more decent I don't know if they were worth the price that I paid because I lived on the ocean so I know what real crab...

The food was fresh and delicious. The waiter was slow to fill drinks and remove finished items from the table. At one point I sat for 3-5 minutes with an empty glass. Another server stopped and asked what I was drinking and brought out a refill.
