Classic supper club with tuxedoed waiters and Sinatra playing in the background. We enjoyed an evening here with great Italian food! We ate the Eggplant Parmigiana and the Cannelloni; both were delicious. Wait staff were attentive and friendly.

I had the best time for my birthday. Service was impeccable... food was Devine and atmosphere was absolutely breathtaking. The best time I've had in a while.
