Menus for lunch and Dinner are

on the web site.

This Restaurant is Fun, Big, and Tasty.

If you’re going on a Friday or Saturday night

 MAKE RESERVATIONS. Sunday night has been the best night for us.

When you enter the Restaurant you will be met by a hostess at

a podium, they will be friendly and smiling behind them you

will see a big U shaped bar with all kinds of activity going on

in and around the back where the servers pick up their orders

for the tables. On the weekend nights there are two and some

times three Mixologists behind this very well run and stocked

bar. If you’re waiting for a table try the Manhattan or a Vodka

Martini.

When your server comes to the table they will ask if you want

to hear the chef specials. Pay attention because they are very

good and sometimes very different. The last time Donna and I

were at this restaurant we were given a pepper dew stuffed with

cream cheese, then Italian bread with olive oil, balsamic, spices

and chopped tomato bruschetta .

 Donna had the Pan Roasted Scallops served in a lobster mascar

pone cream sauce over lobster raviolis, Classic northern Italian

cooking with a light cream sauce. I ordered a dish that is seldom

seen outside the Italian community and is known as a southern

Italian dish. Seafood Fra Diavolo translation (the devil’s brother),

 this dish has Large shrimp, mussels, calamari and lobster

over angel hair pasta with a spicy tomato sauce with roasted

“HOT” peppers, NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. I ordered

mine extra hot and they put peppers on top for me. I sent my

compliments to the chef. I will suggest that if you are going to

try this dish make sure you have bread to eat with it.

The menu satisfies a wide range of taste and is sure to please. As

many times as we go to this establishment we only could have

room for desert once and that was shared, GET THE CHEESE

CAKE... All the servers are friendly and fun. But if you are

lucky enough to have Daniel as a server you are sure to have a

great dinner and he will take care of you like family. Donna and

I love this place and will be back many more times so you may

see us there, come over and say hello.

Until next time Live and Eat Well
