    We haven’t been here in a long time. I recall it was a great experience in the past. Service was good , ambience was good . The food however was not very filling. I had the spaghetti and bacon. And we shared the bruschetta. We go out plenty to know what’s a reasonable portion and what seems too small. Out of all the restaurants we frequent I never leave hungry. Here I was hungry after leaving. Nice restaurant but this was my last experience.

    From the time we entered the front door to the time we left. We were treated with such excellent service. We found parking at the back of the restaurant. The food was delicious , great ambiance. We were not rushed. Would definitely come back again.
