    Side of pasta in vodka sauce
    Mary K.

    The place looked like a super cute and quaint place for a nice girl's dinner so went ahead and made easy Saturday night reservations via Open Table. The parking is as difficult as all the reviews state - so as my fellow yelpers recommended, if the lot looks full, it's full - just park at the CVS and walk over. It's way too tight to wait around and maneuver for a spot. Walking into the place reminds you of being welcomed into a friend's comfy home. We were seated in a back room that felt cozy. Bernie was our server and he was a delight, super personable and attentive. For apps, we had the 1/2 size eggplant rollatini and 1/2 size spinach and goat cheese salad. Rollatini was good, salad was umm interesting - had a ton of fruit on it with a dressing I didn't love but it wasn't bad, just not sure I'd get it again. Onto the entrees - everyone really enjoyed their meals (short ribs and seafood cardinale) except me lol. My side pasta with pink vodka was good but my Chicken Rossini (labeled as a staff favorite) wasn't bad, it just had a flavor I didn't care for, a little bit of salt did help it but I wouldn't get it again. We enjoyed our visit very much and I would def come back to try other options. All of the staff were wonderful. Bernie mentioned to come back during the summer months as they have the patio open. Perhaps we shall when the weather is nicer and we might even luck out with a parking spot.....

    Fun brunch spot to check out with friends! I'd never even heard of this place until someone mentioned it, and I'm really glad I ended up going. It has such a cozy, quaint inn vibe that makes it feel a little special without being over the top. The food was great, honestly, the home fries were my favorite. It's a bit fancier than I expected, but in a good way. They also had live music, which was a nice touch. I'd definitely love to come back when it's warmer and sit outside since it looks like they have some really nice outdoor seating.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while! First, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. On Wednesdays there is a special three course meal for $37.00!! Mine included: first, a HUGE side salad with a delicious dressing and warm, baked bread. Next the chicken franciase - tender, beautifully cooked chicken with a delicate lemon and capers sauce, topping angel hair pasta and freshly shaved cheese. Finally, bread pudding - dense and flavorful, with caramel sauce and whipped cream. The waiter was running the entire place - the bar area, dining room, all on his own. Even still, he was attentive, efficient and informative. It was a great meal and I look forward to visiting again and trying something new!!

    Great service, tasty food, cozy vibe, and nice music. I'll definitely return. Parking is limited, and it's not ideal if you're looking for something quick. This is more of a fine-dining experience.

    One of my favorite restaurants, the several small dining rooms let the experience be intimate. The food is delicious. I usually always get a steak, namely prime rib or ribeye, but this time they had duck on the menu, it was sooo good, it came with wild rice, which I'm not a fan of, so I asked our awesome waiter Bernie if I could substitute it with mashed potatoes, he didn't even hesitate, absolutely anything you want. Bernie was very personable and we were never left wanting for anything. I was the only one who got dessert, but everyone helped themselves, the molten lava cake was warm and gooey!!! And I need to mention there was a wedding going on in the carriage house, and still the food and service were great!!

    Gone way downhill over the years. Banquet food at times. Service is hit or miss, servers change often. Low energy vibe.

    Awesome awesome awesome!…read more We used this space for my sister's bridal shower (around 55 people in attendance) and couldn't be more pleased! First off, the space is very accessible right on Mendon Road. It's a newer space owned by the same people that own Angelo's next door. There is good natural lighting, ample parking outdoors, TVs, and a full bar inside the event area. Also, since it's a newer build, the technology is updated with a sound system and enough outlets to charge different devices. The space itself is in the the same building as Angelo's, and separated by a wall from the Angelo's dining room, but the food is catered by the same kitchen. When walking in, there's a small area to the right with bathrooms and coat closet/storage. To the left is where the main event space is located, along with the bar inside. We were planning the shower out of state, so a lot of the communication with the owners was through email and phone. Working with the owners was super easy and they were very prompt in answering questions leading up to the day. The shower was on a Saturday morning, and the owners were kind enough to give us the space the night before to set up and bring in items so there was that much less to do in the morning. I felt they were so nice with accommodating all our requests from food, to utilization of space, to even last minute things that we didn't know we needed. Day of, they had enough staff on hand to set up tables and any other requests that we needed. They provided all the linen and utensils, as well as servers to bring the food out (since we did a buffet) and then later clean up. They do not allow outside caterers for food, but do allow outside dessert. For the amount of people we had, there was seating for everyone, plus tables for gifts/food/dessert and still some open area to get some games and activities going. We didn't need a bartender since it was a dry event, but as part of the rental, we were given unlimited soft drinks and water (woot!) Overall - really happy with the service and the space accommodations. I think it can serve a number of different types of events and it's a great location from an access standpoint. Time to plan the next party!

    Venue is beautiful, perfect for the shower/exactly what we were looking for aesthetically. CAUTION:…read moreDocument everything discussed with Franchesca and proceed with caution when communicating. For some strange reason she always "means something else." It seems that Franchesca's preference is to talk over the phone rather than providing written responses to emails. During several conversations with myself, mom to be, and mother of the mom to be (all separate conversations), Franchesca gave favorable responses then changed her response about capacity, parking, ADA access, clean up, rentals, etc. (I believe she just needed a booking so she said yes to all of my questions). Franchesca never updated the contract, did not send a fully executed contract, was misleading about parking and ADA access, didn't know how to work her own speaker, told us that the shelves in the fridge couldn't be removed to put the cake inside, and the list goes on. Franchesca also told me that she would not be present during the event but would be in reach if I needed her because she doesn't have an office on-site, which was fine. During set up, her husband introduced himself and said that if I needed anything, his number was on the wall. He didn't leave, in fact, he babysat our event, walking in and out as he pleased. Several people asked who he was because he was very much out of place. At one point I came out of the kitchen and he had a plate of food. Another time, I came out of the kitchen and he was eating a slice of cake. He certainly wasn't there to help because we did absolutely everything (set up, trash, dismantle, speaker, etc.). After we paid in full, Franchesca became difficult to talk to. She kept cutting us (mom to be, myself) off during conversations before we could complete a thought. She also told us that she would clean everything, then decided that she didn't clean and we had to remove our own trash unless we paid her $150 additional for trash removal because she didn't have access to a dumpster. The time allotted wasn't worth the price, especially when her husband lingered like we were in his way (very tacky). Wasn't a comfortable feeling as we felt we were being watched throughout our rental. The shower was gorgeous and all the guests were pleased. My overall experience for the price I paid is about a 4 (1-10 scale).

    AVOID!! Terrible!!…read moreWe were about to pay the deposit and then were canceled on due to the "Style of wedding". Not sure if it was the interracial part or the same sex part the disagreed with. Owner/manager told me she would "pray for me".
