    We arrived ealier than expected but was still able to be seated. Provided with olives and complimentary garlic bread while we looked at the menu’s. The food was served, and was absolutely delicious and our water glasses were always filled. Perfect location to eat prior to attending Prince Edward Theatre. Highly recommend
