We'd never been there, and kept hearing great things (LIWs included!), so we went tonight.
Not the place for a quiet, 'special' dinner, but overall, the place was great.
The food was fabulous, our waitress was awesome, and we didn't even have to wait because we called ahead and put our names on the list.
We were talking to people that were waiting an HOUR for a table, so if you're going, call ahead!!!
Just to make everyone hungry: I had spinach and chicken ravioli in a creamy tomato sauce, and FH had linguine and shrimp, mussels, and scallops in a spicy marinara. Food was SO GOOD!!!
You should try it if you haven't already

We've been there a few times...and the service has been going downhill every visit....not all bad...but it was exceptional the first time. the food has always been delicious though
