"Food is reasonable but far from great."
"Nothing blew us away but you could tell the ingredients were good."
"The main course pastas were a let down: the ravioli with shrimp and artichoke was covered in a watery tomato sauce and the spaghetti with clams was over salty and unpleasant."
"Our halibut was overcooked and pasta was chewy, under seasoned and didn’t feel fresh."
"The food portions were large but it was just ok."

"The service was far too pushy - clearing starters when there is still food on them!"
"Wait staff was good - deducted points for the maitre d. their level of arrogance was off the charts."

"This is by far the loudest restaurant I have ever been to."

"3 pizzas $75. What a shame!"
"They add 22% gratuities to the final check although the food is good."

"Very expensive for what we got."
"It was slightly on the expensive side for what it was."
"The price point is definitely hefty but it is worth EVERY single dollar!!!"
