    Excellent food in a nice setting; upscale but relaxed. I had the calamari and then the half-chicken, with chocolate mousse for dessert - fantastic! We were here for a business dinner and were treated very nicely. I will return.

    Great ambiance, fantastic food and exceptional service. I ordered the veal chop parm and it was a humongous portion. Enough for dinner and plenty for leftovers. Drinks were expertly done as well. Highly recommend!
