    Excellent service and food! I wanted to try the homemade pasta but the Chilean Sea bass entree was calling me! Fortunately my server suggested a kid’s portion of the Carbonara. It was delicious!

    The table was ready when we arrived, greeted warmly. Staff was attentive but, the food was just ok. One dish came out hot, the other dish was barely warm.

    Nice atmosphere when you walk in, though they should notice when it is cold outside that the inside patron are not near heat features. HH Caeser was delish with REAL anchovies which was impressive. HH cheese pizza was pretty good. HH calamari was overcooked and the red sauce with it was aweful. Complementary bread was not good. All of the pasta dishes each person had were delicious, especially the short rib. HH wine was a great price but sadly it was really horrible. On a positive note the service was excellect. It is a shame every food item was not at its best, especially at these prices! I would not recommend it until I possibly give it one more try.

    This place is awesome, very friendly. Bartender service was good and the food was spectacular. If I could’ve gave this place a 10 star rating I would’ve PS great happy hour.
