What?. I took my sister there for dinner for her birth day becuase she had been told the place was great. NOT! It looked lovely when we came in, but the service was slow and when we were asked how the meal tasted she did not care. We waited for almost an hour before our food came out and the chicken was so dry that I almost could not cut it with a STEAK knife. Then when the change came she only gave us back large bills....sorry not going to tip over 20% for bad food and service.

Quaint atmosphere, killer service. After the best calamari I have ever had, my companion and I were well served by a friendly staff and comfortably stuffed after apetizer a main course and desert along with an excellent selection of wines. Defiantely a special occaision place for the price but what an excellent night. Hats off to the whole crew, kitchen and front of house. Well done!

wonderful tastes and friendly atmosphere. maybe my tastes are different but I love this place. the service has always been impeccable with the staff being very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending food and wine. the ambience can't be beat, lunch on the back patio in the sun with a good bottle of wine... it was heaven. the food and portions have always been just right. I clean my plate and don't feel overstuffed as happens in so many restaurants these days.

Two words. Two words for you...over hyped. Resataurant's number one priority is food, here it is average. Sounds awesome on menu, but when it gets to you, it doesn't measure up.

Don't believe the hype. We have eaten at this restaurant a number of times over the past 3 years, and it has somehow become less and less fulfilling. If I was to pin it down on one thing it would have to be the service. The food is still decent (not as good as it used to be), and I love the ambiance, but the service is typically extremely slow. A couple of changes and this place could be fantastic. Maybe it's just me, because every time I drive by it is packed...

My favorite.. While the food selection and quality is not always consistent, I can always count on excellent coffee and cocktails, without fail. In the summertime, have a greyhound at the bar. They squeeze the grapefruit right there and it is most refreshing. And if they have creme brulee on the menu, I recommend that as well.

Nice, but not amazing. Request a table outdoors in the garden patio -- it's absolutely charming. Someone must be reading all the complaints about poor service, because our service from start to finish was friendly, knowledgable and quick. They even held our outdoor table when we were late for our reservation. Unfortunately the food is nothing special. The house specialty, their take on eggplant parmesan, was bland, and the taste of the eggplant was totally drowned out by loads of mozzarella. The pasta special, a seafood linguine, was good (the clams were excellent) but overly spicy even though I asked them to go easy on the pepper flakes. The three cheeses on the cheese plate were too similar. I'd return for the ambiance during the summer, but not for the food.
