"Plenty of parking. We reserved a table but the restaurant wasn't packed at all. The waitress was friendly but not as attentive as we would've liked. She paid more attention to the tables outside than us. There was a table next to us that sat after we received our appetizers that was able to order their desserts, get boxes and their check before the waitress came back to even address anything additional we needed. The signature cocktails were delicious. We ordered 6 feet sweet, distantini and valentini. They were all sweet without being overpowering. Flavors for all the beverages meshed well. The appetizers were amazing. I loved the goat cheese on the bruschetta since it was a different take with the flavors intertwining well. The garlicky cheese bread was a bit short of the amount of garlic but was definitely a sense of comfort food. The crab cakes were delicious with plenty of crab included. The eggplant fries were good overall but I had a higher expectation for the pesto sauce. The marinara was top notch but the pesto sauce was too watery as a sauce. Entrées fell a bit short in my opinion. We ordered the roasted salmon, grilled filet mignon and sausage carbonera. The salmon was delicious but the rice pilaf was bland. The sausage carbonera was way too salty. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes were delicious. Overall for the amount we paid, customer service and quality of food, it was a bit of a mark missed for being top notch for me personally. I would recommend to stop but won't be making it a point to come again."
