Although Open Table allowed me to make a reservation for Monday at 7, and although the hours posted on the restaurant door showed open on Monday, the restaurant was closed.

The service was AMAZING!! We went for a birthday dinner and they were very attentive. But the food was all over the place. Some things were really wonderful, while others fell a little flat. The pizzas were surprisingly delicious. The risotto, homemade pasta and special ravioli were also very good. They did over sauce everything, which surprised us because the pasta was so fresh and delicious. The chicken parmigiana was pretty unremarkable, as were the three different desserts we ordered. Overall it was a nice dinner with my family. I cant express how wonderful the service and atmosphere were. But I do think the kitchen has a few issues to work out.

We went for mother's day dinner, had reserved a table for 5 , when we got there they said they had no open table reservation and they had called that morning to let open table know they were booked. The manager was very nice about it, but I indicated we drove a ways to get there and had little options. I said we would wait by the bar, he said he would see what he could do. he then put some tables together and got us a table, we actually had 6 vs 5 and he accomodated us. the food was great, the filet mignon was awesome. the appetizers were really good (prosciutto and the calamari) . the service was really good for a holiday - they were packed. I highly reccommend you try this place out.

I chose this place for Valentines day for me & GF. On entering we noticed the nice ambiance and lot of other couples seated next to us. On asking for menu we were informed about Valentines day 3 course menu...we ordered Calamari rings, branzino, lamb chops and chocolate cake. Service was extremely slow as appetizers took over 20 minutes to arrive. After that main course took over 45 minutes to arrive...at the end of it we were just waiting to finish our dessert and get the hell out. On asking, the manager apologised about slow kitchen and slow service as they were understaffed and many chefs and waiters did not show up that day (Which i dont believe as theres always backup..so i assume its management being cheap) We spent over $200 for 2 people and in the end we just went home and slept after being kept waiting for our food. The only redemption is that the food was decent...branzino was very underseasoned and overall the menu options were very limited. Food is above average but You can have a much cheaper meal with 10 times better service for half the price even in manhattan...would not recommend. P.S: I work in restaurants and we had this slow a service, our management would take strong action and chef would kick our butt.

Service was outstanding. Ambience was incredible. Both Pasta dishes were lacking flavor, maybe they didn't salt the water. Caesar Salad was delicious. Wine was also delightful.
