Stay away. I was completely unprepared for this place. It had received a number of good reviews. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, in fact I recommend you stay away. It is very old fashioned, and not in a good way. It reminds me of restaurants back in the 1960's. It caters to a very geriatric crowd. It is cheap looking. Lots of mirrors and strange decor. The food was a joke. An example: on the menu were 'home made' lobster ravioli in a blush sauce. I asked our server: 'Do you make them here?' 'No', they buy them.' she replied honestly. I ordered them anyway. Store bought for sure. So was the sauce. Right out of a jar. Horrible beyond description, but I will try. They were tough and rubbery. Way too salty, incredibly so. The sauce was what you would expect from Ragu. i wouldn't have bothered writing a review except that so many seem to like the place. Sorry. I disagree.
