I really liked the overall ambiance of this restaurant. I initially wanted to give this restaurant a 3 halfway through dinner but they ended up really making up for lots in the end. The food wasnt bad. We started with the Carpaccio. We both agreed it was good, maybe just a few less capers. I had the Filet Mignon and the fiancé had the rack of lamb. The proteins were flavorful but my mash lacked flavor and so did the fiancés rice pilaf. Overall we were both happy with our choices. The waiter made sure our waters and wine were filled which was nice. They have a nice full bar with a tv near by. Kind of unique setting. The outdoor patio was nice for the more casual. The bar area was almost separated from the main dining area which is cool in case someone gets over excited about the games. They also have booth and table options as well. At the end of dinner the waiter asked if we wanted dessert, we asked what they had and he said, Im not sure. We chuckled but he came back with a complete memorIzed list. We were both in agreement that the restaurant was a 3 star until the desert came. We chose the chocolate lava cake. Even though there wasnt any lava it was delicious! To our surprise our waiter came with a small sample sized glass of red wine to pair with it. We loved it! Not sure what exactly it was but its rare where an employee goes above and beyond to make sure your enjoying your experience! We will be back for sure! PROS -Great variety on the menu -Plenty of parking -Nice sized patio -Full bar -Attentive staff CONS -Lighting is almost too dim -Gives off an Italian feel but playing Spanish music (although I love Spanish music it just didnt mesh) -No one really greets you when you walk in -The sign outside advertisers half off appetizers (but doesnt state from 2pm-6pm) -The decor is older

My first visit, and most likely my last. The decor is fine...no complaints. Our party of 4 was seated at a table set for two. The first thing I noticed was the table cloth was soiled from a previous guest. Then I notice the window blind in need of some cleaning as well (food and bug remnants on it.) When my silverware arrived the knife was still greasy from a previous user. The service was slow, which wasnt our servers fault. The restaurant was understaffed for a busy lunch. It took several minutes for the server to greet us, and even longer to get a wine list. Water arrived sometime after the wine list. The food took at least 25 minutes to arrive, possibly longer I wasnt timing it but we all noticed. The turkey club was very light on turkey and it looked like packaged deli meat from the store, rather that turkey roasted at the restaurant. Just typical, lower tier restaurant stuff...frozen french fries, etc.

I recommend this place for the amazing service we always experience here. My wife and I have come in over two dozen times in the last 6 months and we love it. We must say that Tiffany our lovely waitress, who we make sure to ask for every time or sit in her area, is an amazing server and we would like to recognize her for her efforts and making our experience dining wholesome. Please do tip well when Tiffany serves you since she always does a great job... deserves more than recommended tipping. Enjoy the good food too...!

Suprisingly the rules have changed. Happy hour now limits u to only 1 happy hour item. Who does that? And we sat w a baby so sat near corner they turned off the lights and we aked 3 times to have them on so we could enjoy our meal and see the baby. They acted like it never happened they just kept trying to boc our food since we apparantly didnt eat fast in the dark. Sad to say i wont enjoy happy hour as much any more in that location

Ridiculously hot, like the AC did not work kind of hot. Food was mostly bland, except the Thai Mussels, which were downright gross. How do you make Brie bland? They somehow managed to. Picture mussels doused in Thai salad dressing - a sticky, sweet mess. The only somewhat highlight was the okay service. I will not return and would not recommend it to others.

From the moment you walk through the door, Mario the owner makes you feel as if hes known you his entire life. This is a wonderful place for a corporate luncheon or a intimate dinner on a special occasion. Consistently delicious whether it be a pasta dish, steak over the wood fired grill, or shellfish steamed to perfection, this has been a 5 on every visit! Ciao!

The fresh grilled salmon fillet topped with lemon butter, served over mixed sauteed vegetables is exquisite. From all the places that I tried salmon, this one reached the top; they really fine tuned the flavor. Excellent service; fast pace at dinner time. Mario, with experiences in Armenia, Germany and Italy, has designed a superb menu. Congratulations!

This is one of my all time favorite places to eat! It has fantastic food (the Filet Mignon and the Chicken Pappardelle are outstanding!) The service is always attentive and the owner, Mario, makes me feel like I am coming to a friends house for dinner. Very nice atmosphere. It is a hidden gem!

If you want a place for a quiet dinner - great rack of lamb or a good selection of moderately priced meals - Zinfandel is for you. They also have a good wine list. I like their lamb but I also like their Chicken with Spinach. We will often go there for a relaxed dinner.

This place is great!!! Mario is super awesome, accommodating and an all around great guy. The food is top notch and always tastes great. The prosciutto pizza is the best. The food is definitely worth it.
