Ate here recently. Food was pretty good - chicken marsala was delicious. Fifth star is for service - there was an issue with the tiramisu - which was otherwise great - and they were extremely gracious in dealing with it. Much more so than I would have expected or seen anywhere else.

This is a hidden gem for the lunchtime crowd. Great prices, great entrees, and outstanding martinis! Ask for the carpaccio, its not on the menu at lunch but it is fabulous.

Had lunch there yesterday. The food was good, service was a bit slow, but fortunately we weren't in a hurry until near the end. The ambiance was enjoyable.
