Celebrated our two year anniversary here and like others, specified this in our reservation and we were greeted at our table with rose petals, a congratulations note signed by the staff, and a coupon for a complimentary calamari appetizer on our next visit. Our waitress was extremely polite and very helpful. I got the porterhouse and I don't get why... more

The food is quite expensive - entrees are $35+, appetizers are $10+, and the numerous wines... more
