"This is a pretty easy 4 star restaurant. Service is very attentive, their food is above average, and the atmosphere is what many people come for. Parking is basically valet only, unless you park in the neighborhood and walk at least 1 block. I recommend reservations for any groups of 3 or more on most nights. For two, you can usually get seated sans reservations within 15 mins, if not immediately. On a recent visit, I came on a very busy evening and had limited seating options, even though I had reservations. It was either the rear of the back building (which was very loud) or the space between the buildings which is a high traffic area (which is chilly on cold nights even though they have a small fire pit against the back wall). It took a while for the food to arrive, so luckily servers brought out 2 plates of their regular bread/butter, and 1 plate of bruschetta. The bread/butter is good by itself, but the bruschetta with red bell peppers is even better. Since I was in a rush, I just ordered 1 soup and 2 entrees. Minestrone Soup pretty simple soup and its a fairly small portion. I didn't really think this soup was anything special. My least favorite item ordered. Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp If you like fettuccine, this is a pretty good version with 4 jumbo grilled shrimp. It is a lot of noodles though and basically a 2 dimensional dish. Chicken Parmesan great dish with a nice sized, freshly breaded chicken breast, delicious red sauce and melted white cheese. They bring out fresh Parmesan cheese as well. The perfectly cooked steamed veggies made this dish easily the best one that I ordered."
