Everything was absolutely perfect. The drinks were delicious and perfectly made . Our governor server for dinner was incredibly professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We started with appetizers. I had the blue point oysters that were fresh and absolutely delicious. My partner had the beet salad with orange sections and again it was delicious. We shared a pasta dish with broccoli rabbi and sausage.,  again it was outstanding. We also shared the pork Oso, Bucco ; delicious!! The food, service and ambience are all so perfect!
