My husband and I tried this place last night for our friend's birthday dinner. It was great! The bread was fresh and the spread that came with it was addicting. I had the mushroom lasagna and my husband had the vodka cream sauce, we both agreed that we enjoyed mine much more. That's not to say the vodka cream sauce wasn't good, it was decent, but my lasagna was incredible!! The ambiance is nice and intimate, maybe a little too dark and a bit cramped for a large party. Fantastic for a date night, though.
The service was good. Not especially friendly but she kept the drinks filled and divided our checks up without hesitation. That's always appreciated. My husband went up to ask the piano player if the he knew if the trumpet player had a mute (an accessory for the trumpet that give it a brassy sound), and he seemed offended. Apparently the pianist wasn't familiar with this device and thought my husband was saying he wanted the trumpet muted as in to make no noise! Oops. He was also not receptive for my husbands request for some moody jazz music. Oh well, lesson learned that we will leave the piano guy alone. He and his ensemble put on a nice show, though at times the volume was a bit intrusive.
We will be taking family here and plan to return on our own!
