Great service - friendly and professional. Good food - both my co-worker and I ordered the Black & Bleu Steak. The Angus steak was tender and cooked to perfection. The bleu cheese sauce was creamy and a perfect addition to the steak. The garlic mushrooms were a killer side dish for me. The bread was pulled fresh from the oven and was tender and delicious!
We didn't have room for desert.
Great time and very happy with our visit!
My spouse and I decided to try the resturaunt after hearing of great comments. To our surprise, we were very dissapointed by both the service and high prices. Since it is focued on Italian food, we ordered a pizza, which was very dry and had no pizza taste at all. Pizza Hut would have been a better choice. The prices are extremely too high for the low quality and for the small amount of food dishes to choose from. Very dissapointed and will not visit again!
Dinner for 3 on 2-13-2008. Waitstaff was all ~20-30 yo women who lacked a professional touch. The restaurant was 1/3 full. Service too quick. Barely seated - can I get you something to drink? No welcome, no wine list or drink specials. Received menus, had to ask about specials. We were obviously perusing the menu, when asked if we were ready to order at 1, 3 and 5 minutes. Beef tournedos - filet ordered for $27 - meat tough - definitely not choice or Angus. Salmon filet with crab was overcooked, tough and dry - wife refused to eat it despite being quite hungry! Caesar salad - precut romaine with dried edges, streaked with a so-so bottled dressing for extra money. The only wines by the glass were mediocre house brands. Was told the locals rave about the freshly baked bread sticks. Ours were underbaked and gooey in the middle. We did not have dessert. Overall, a real disappointment. I suspect that if you ordered Italian dishes/pasta and the house salad and had average expectations, you would be OK with the dining experience. For us, it was overpriced mediocre fare with diner service. We left unsatisfied saying we would never return. I could have broiled a filet, microwaved a baked potato and heated frozen peas all in 20 minutes for a much better dinner at 1/3 the price.

This review is absolutely ridiculous. I have worked at this restaurant for quite sometime and this person is out of their mind.The waitresses i can not comment on.But the beef is certified angus, the house dressing and ceaser are homemade and we are busy every weekend, must mean people keep coming back?
Appreciate the review...I know service can vary from day to day but have found in many places that an establishment that is popular locally can be quite lacking in basic service etiquette and food quality. And if the locals enjoy it, they can easily raise prices above what the experience is actually worth.
