Hands down our favorite place to go for date night. You cannot go wrong going here for a nice dinner out. Try their mac and cheese, veal tortellini with gorgonzola cream and always listen to their specials before deciding. Reservations are a must for the main dining room. If you come early you might be able to get a seat at the bar in the main restaurant or you can go to the wine bar that is behind the restaurant.
