Taking my family here was a first-time wonder! Each dish brought to the table between the eggplant appetizer and the pork chop entree was an experience. This is a restaurant to continue coming back to! The service was wonderful as well. Every waiter and waitress was attentive and willing to serve at all times. The people are warm, and it reflects on the ambiance and the food itself. We look forward to enjoying this restaurant for many occasions to come!

Place looks very nice and clean. 1st Drinks order took way too long over 15 minutes. My Red snapper tasted good but too dry. Went to next door Bar and had a few drinks and had a great time.

Dinner was great, as usual. Wonderful service and cocktails. Noise level took away from the dining experience. Music was way too LOUD. Also, please bring back the side dish of broccoli rabe. Your entrees are delicious but don't include veggies.

Excellent all around. I chose this restaurant as it is walking distance from the Wellmont Theater and was sure what to expect. Everyone loved their appetizers and meal. Would definitely go back. The service was great as well. Can't say enough good things about this new favorite restaurant.

Went for a nightcap after dinner with my wife, got minimal service at the bar which is to be expected on a busy Saturday night. Drinks were fine, too much ice in both, but not bad overall. The real kicker was that when paying we were presented with a copy of the receipt to sign where 20% tip was added without showing it on the previous copy.

It went from “total $37.34” on the original receipt to “subtotal $44.81” on the copy that I was supposed to add tip to… pretty sneaky way to try to take advantage of customers and hope they double tip. Photos attached.

When I questioned the bartender he scoffed at me like it was a dumb question. I would’ve tipped 20% anyway, but how can they expect patrons to return and trust their service when they do shady things like this?
