    Very nice restaurant and gorgeous patio. We went to celebrate our anniversary and it was the perfect spot for dinner. We split the Parker House rolls which came out piping hot and soft as pillows; so delicious. Next we split the calamari, which was so tasty and came with two different dipping sauces. I got the London broil and my husband got the New York strip. They were cooked to perfection. We asked for sautéed mushrooms on the side, even though it wasn’t listed on the menu and they were glad to oblige. Even though it was too cool to sit outside on the patio, we were seated at a window table and it was just as romantic and lovely as you can imagine. Highly recommend.
