We had an amazing Greek salad to share and an 4 dip assortment platter to share. This consisted of regular hummus, a spicy hummus, the most delicious eggplant dip, and a Taziki. The calamari was so fresh and delicious with excellent sauce. My friend had the vegetarian platter, which was really enough for two people. It was huge and had stuffed grape leaves, spinach, and rice hunk of Fattah Gigante beans order of beets and I forget what else. I had the grilled lamb shish kebab Slovakia with lemon potatoes and a small salad on the side. It was so delicious cooked exactly as I asked for it medium rare. I can't wait to go back here.

The food was buffet style and there was definitely no shortage they kept everything well stocked. Overall, the food was good for a party setting. Nothing that blew me away, but definitely not bad either. Service was okay. The staff was around when needed, but I did have to go track someone down a few times especially when looking for coffee. One highlight was the ice cream bar, which was a nice touch. The ice cream itself was actually really good and a fun addition to the event. When you first walk in, there's also a bar area the bartender was friendly, though the bar space itself is on the smaller side. Overall, not a bad place to host a party. Good space, solid food for the setting, and a decent experience.

For my wife's birthday I surprised my wife and took her to one of her favorite restaurants in the…read morearea, La Cucina Nouveau, where they serve her favorite gnocchi. I called late morning(Saturday) and was able to get a reservation at 5pm. Upon entering we were greeted by two large birthday parties in progress; for a 100 year old woman and for a 75 year old woman. However, we were seated immediately and brought fresh crusty bread and spicy olives, and our wine was opened. Our waiter, Joe, told us the evening specials and gave us a chance to look at the menu. To my disappointment, no gnocchi amongst the regular and specials. We decided upon entrees and when Joe returned I mentioned my and my wife's disappointment at the absence of gnocchi. Joe excused himself and went into the kitchen returning shortly. He said the chef would make us an order of gnocchi even though it was not on the menu. He said the chef would prepare it any way we wanted; this in a jam packed Saturday night restaurant. Now that's service! We told him to surprise us with chef's choice and we would share the order as an appetizer. When he returned it was with a large platter of gnocchi with small potato cubes, and sweet acorn squash in a savory, slightly tomatoey, cream sauce. Each item perfectly cooked with al dente precision. Our grilled shrimp and frenched pork chop entrees also perfectly cooked. Joe also brought out complimentary Ice cream and candle to accompany our cappuccino and espresso. We both found it to be a great dinner! Thank you Joe and thank you chef!

One huge plus (for my…read morehusband and I at least) is that it's BYOB, which is always appreciated and helps make dinner feel a little more affordable. Our waitress was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and refreshingly honest when my husband asked for meat recommendations. The service overall was prompt and attentive all night. One thing to note is that they ask you to place your full food order upfront, but the pacing was excellent and everything came out perfectly spaced without feeling rushed. The restaurant itself is modern, spacious, and much larger than I expected inside. We had a 6 PM reservation, which I actually preferred because by the time we left around 8 PM, the place was absolutely packed. Parking is probably the only downside. They do offer valet, but otherwise you'll need to use a nearby public lot, which can get crowded and is paid parking. As for the food, everything was also fantastic. My husband loved the oysters so much he originally ordered four... then immediately ordered six more. The whipped ricotta was honestly to die for and came in a huge portion, especially considering they already provide table-side bread. I ordered the goat cheese and honey pizza, which was delicious, and my husband said his filet was cooked perfectly. The garlic mashed potatoes were another standout and absolutely worth ordering. One thing to keep in mind is that the meats do not come with sides, and at $14 each, the sides can make the bill climb pretty quickly compared to the rest of the menu pricing. That said, the garlic mashed potatoes were so good we'd order them again without hesitation. Overall, really impressive food, great service, and a fun atmosphere that's definitely worth checking out.
