| - My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. My first impression was that I was underdressed. We went on a Thursday evening in July and we thought some others would be more dressed down. I later learned the Chamber of Commerce had a party there, which explained why there were so many suits there at 8 pm.
The restaurant was very loud and noisy, which hurts it a little. The seating is very nice, though, and despite them being very busy I didn't feel cramped or boxed-in.
I had lobster bisque for an appetizer and pan-seared tuna for my entree. The lobster bisque was very good, and at $4.99 was a pretty good value, as well. The tuna was expertly cooked, and was so tender it melted in my mouth.
The bread was very good, as were the salads.
My wife enjoyed her chicken and pasta dish, athough I am not sure what it was called. We both felt it was the best meal we have had in awhile.
I ordered the house Pinot Grigiot (can't recall the brand) and it was a very subtle wine with a clean finish that was an expert pair with our meal, and only $21 per bottle. My only service complaint is that my wine was served after my entree, when I had requested it be served with the entree. I was eating slowly because I wanted to enjoy my wine with my tuna but didn't want the tuna to get cold, either.
All-in-all I feel this is a good restaurant to visit for Italian cuisine.
