Our waitress Marlene was AMAZING! She was attentive, happy and efficient. The food was delicious! Everyone ordered something different and all of us were delighted with our choices and took home leftovers. We had cocktails to start then ordered a bottle of Decoy. The other Couple had dessert and after dinner drinks which they enjoyed. I tried the cookies and cream Gelato and thought it was great. The bread that was brought out immediately was hot, flavorful and plentiful. The only negative was the Birthday Party in the bar was very loud. Fortunately, they were done by 7:00. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The cost for what you are served is totally acceptable. Our bill was $133.00 with a 20% tip. That included two cocktails, a bottle of wine and 2 entrees.
