We agree with everyone, the food is delicious and the wait staff was very nice. BUT, there are lots of restaurants with delicious food. Our experience was on a Friday night at 6:45 for a party of six. We arrived and the reservation had been booked for the wrong night - but there was a table available. The menu is very limited and nearly impossible for people who do not eat seafood or pork products. There was no fish without seafood or vegetarian options. So beware - even the chicken was precooked and wrapped in prosciutto. On the special menu was a hamburger which two of us wished to order, but were told that they had run out of hamburger meat Thursday night and therefore couldn't serve it on Friday (nowhere to get meat on Friday?). The entrees took over 45 minutes to arrive and then two came out cold. When the check came there was an extra charge for "rocks" on a vodka on the rocks drink and a charge for cheese that was not ordered. We were told that both were restaurtant policy. Something strange was surely going on!
Pros: Food was delicious
Cons: Long wait for food, limited menu, rediculous additional charges
