My family and I enjoyed a great dinner exp today. The entrees were all great and our four desserts were amazing.

Enjoyed a dinner here tonight. Service was unparalleled, the best in my recent memory. Jay was friendly, knew his stuff and provided a great experience. I had the chicken parmesan. The chicken slices were thin all the more breading! and the pasta was on point. The calamari for appetizer was delicious. And the salad was tasty.
