★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Came here for my wifes birthday. I must say this review is personally for our server Mara i hope i spelled it correctly. She specifically alone deserves 10/10 star. I never felt taken care of personally like family and not a customer. Kind warm and an absolute awesome human being. Now to the restaurant, extremely clean and spacious. Prices are extremely reasonable and my god the portions need a warning sign. They are huge. Food was lights out amazing, seafood tasted fresh and not like the ocean. I rarely dine Consistently at the same restaurant but this place won me over big time
July 07 · feras awwadFinally got around to write this review I had a small wedding and reception back in May in their private event room it was AMAZING! Sal was so amazing to work with and helpful to us during planning. On the day of the staff (Michelle and I can’t remember the gentleman’s name) were so great and they were so attentive to my husband and I during the party. All my guests had a blast and loved the food! I would deff have an event here again! 🎉🎉
September 15 · Jacqueline LopezLeaving 5 stars for ANTHONY! What a jack of all trades, he truly does it all while upholding the highest standards of service and professionalism. His expert knowledge of the wines, calamari, salads was beyond impressive. At only 19 years of age, you would never know as he has the soul, passion, and energy of a much older, distinguished gentleman. We also loved the pineapple joke - make sure you order the pineapple sorbet! We will be back for ANTHONY!
September 08 · Ariana ChambersReally cute place for a lovely romantic evening with your partner. Our server was wonderful, she was quick and attentive. Restaurant was clean and had a warm and welcoming ambiance. Food was great, I enjoyed my chicken with vegetables and salad. Their pasta was too aldente for me and i thought the serving size was too small. But we enjoyed our food and our time here, I would recommend this place.
September 27 · L.B.We celebrated a friend’s 50th birthday here and had a great time. The table service was great and the food was delicious. It was cool that there was another party in the next hall and we couldn’t even tell.
