Food was very good, and our wait person was awesome! The Garlic Mizithra and my son's linguine were excellent. Only downside, and it was a big one was dirty utensils-- forks still had food stuck on them ????

The first night we tried to dine here, we were told that we had to make reservations to avoid a long wait. We figured the food must be good and were excited to visit the next day. We were wrong! It's nasty! We could have visited the Olive Garden for better food and half the price. I ordered the cheese bread as an appetizer and the Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine as my meal. The Fettuccine was horrible; it was dry and the shrimp were overcooked and tasted rubbery. I posted a photo, but don't let it fool you; that Fettuccine looked good but was definitely nasty! The cheese bread was delicious.
