    We dined here for the first time for Mother’s Day dinner. The reservation process was very easy and we were even able to modify our large party of 5 the day of due to traffic coming from out of town. The menu had something for everyone from gourmet kids pasta to burgers to salmon and fresh seafood pasta. The cocktails were fun and the beer was cold and perfect poured. The price point was perfect for the high quality of the food and our waiter was just a delight. He suggested some great dishes and drinks and was attentive through the whole night. The ambiance and decor was perfect for an intimate dinner and we were comfortable and even had enough food to take home. It was overall a very pleasant experience. I will gladly dine here again and am looking forward to their weekly specials I saw advertised.
