We came for our Anniversary, the service was excellent and the food delicious. The scallops were a bit small for the cost, but we enjoyed every dish.

The service is impeccable, it was perfect. The atmosphere is sublime. The backlit menus are very nice touch. My ribeye was cooked perfectly, my mother's cioppino was perfect and without question. Talk about a diamond in the rough that is not rough whatsoever. The cork table has a beautiful event separate dining room and table usually seating 20. Worth any penny and then some. We will be back.

This place has great food. We have always driven by it and said we want to stop in but never did but very glad we did. They have a good wine selection. Definitely would try the sea bass and the creme brulee trio. Everybody was very nice and they took care of us very good. The bar is a great place to sit down and have a drink because we were waiting for other people. How are waitress was very nice but I could tell she was a little perturbed because we did take a long time because we were there with people we haven't seen in a long time. The chairs were very comfortable which I particularly like. The fillet is also a very good choice. We will definitely have to come back.

Excellent cocktails and wine list. We skipped appetizers and launched right into entrees: I had the short ribs and so did a friend, very succulent and tender and flavorful. One of our group had the Cioppino -- seafood stew -- and he was very happy with his choice -- the serving was very large and he could not finish it. My husband's filet topped w/ crab meat was a less delightful cut of meat and we would not choose that again. Service is impeccable and professional and patient. Also, the Lit-from-within menus are a delightful addition. Kudos to our server, she was top notch. One small faux pax by another staffer who grabbed someone's plate to clear it while others were obviously still eating. Atmosphere is lively but the the tables are nicely spaced and the furnishings give the place a
