The venue itself is art deco style, kept immaculately clean (including the restrooms). I had the Grilled Chicken sandwich with avocado and aioli sauce, with Tuscan fries (house cut I'm told) both of which were very good. The wife had the Honey Chicken Ginger Salad and we both agreed that it was excellent. Our server, Jenny, deftly handled the full bar, the bar dining area, and the drink orders for the entire restaurant. There was a dessert special of Italian Lemon Cake offerred, but unfortunately, I couldn't convince my wife to split it. The prices were very reasonable, and the food was very good. We'll definitely come back.

We visited on the Friday before V-day, the house was packed around 18:30. The wait was 45 mins which wasn't too bad for a Friday night. We decided to wait in the lobby after trying to find a cozy waiting spot near the bar and missing. My wife attempted to order me a mocktail, but of course the bar was crazy busy. When the bartender finally acknowledged her, the mocktail requests obviously threw the bartender for a loop because I ended up with watered down ginger beer and a sprig of mint. My advice for anyone looking for a virgin drink at this bar would be to order a club soda with lime and call it a night. We were seated at the 45 min mark, and were escorted to the packed bar, where they have some exterior tables for diners. My seat was in the middle of the couch split, which I found mighty uncomfortable so we opted to request a seat in the main dining room, which the staff happily obliged. With dinner we ordered hot tea and were given lukewarm water and a choice of Stash teas. Our beverage experience here was very disappointing. The calamari arrived and may have been the only highlight, although we didn't find it to have that fresh calamari texture. My wife ordered a ravioli with mushroom, and felt the pasta and veggies were just swimming in butter. I ordered my steak medium and it was okay, but the juices from the greens made the croquettes soggy, and unenjoyable. The server did his best, and all the staff here are so kind. Coulda been an off night but I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. The Mocktail Madam.

I had the shrimp and butternut squash ravioli and everything was well cooked and seasoned. It was a rich dish, with cubed butternut squash and shrimp on top of the ravioli.

Several birthdays and other special occasions were being celebrated. We weren't given a drink or wine menu but were asked what we wanted to drink to start. I asked for a Pinot Grigio and was offered by the glass or a carafe. The service was good, the pace of the meal was perfect and the atmosphere was really nice. The portions were plentiful and the preparation of the entrees were proper. The flavoring and seasoning was spot on. The pasta with my veal Marsala was a tad overcooked but still good. I prefer a bit more el dente. I would return and can recommend.

Let me first start by saying that my wife and I ate twice there and in those two times we had baked…read moreziti, manicotti, and chicken parm. All of the above mentioned plates were in my opinion in incredibly good. What was not good, was the bread basket on both occasions. For an Italian restaurant serving the kind of bread that they serve is not a good thing for an expensive restaurant. The first time the bread was non-descriptive and just basically was not good. On the second time the bread that they gave us, the outer crust was scaling off of the bread, which probably means that it was frozen for a long time in the freezer and then reheated it was terrible. We did send it back and they gave us new bread in that style, which was still not good then while we were there, an older employee woman?, was talking loudly and disrespectfully to the workers, and made for a awkward dining experience. In addition, you have to pay for salad when you buy a meal. I don't think I've ever been in a good Italian restaurant where the salad didn't come with the meal. Again, I'm gonna say that the plates that my wife and I had the baked ziti the chicken Parm the manicotti in my opinion were excellent and this probably won't deter us from dining there, but thus far we have found a few good Italian restaurants, so we might pass this one up for a place that has better bread. We always try to support local and this review by no means is to put down this establishment, but to hopefully make them aware that good Italian bread matters at a good Italian restaurant. It's the first impression that counts.

I recently stopped by Alons Uzbek Halal Grill in Highland, NY, and unfortunately, my experience was…read morea little underwhelming. I ordered the chicken and lamb over rice, and while the presentation was decent, the overall flavor was pretty bland. I was expecting something packed with seasoning and bold flavors, but it just didn't deliver. I specifically asked for extra white sauce, which I never received. I also requested a little red sauce, and the gentleman mentioned something about a straight hot pepper sauce, but whatever he was talking about seemed to be nonexistent when my food arrived. When you're eating chicken and lamb over rice, the sauces can really make or break the meal! The pita bread was an additional $2, which I thought was a little much, but I will give credit where it's due -- the pita bread was very good! Now, let's talk about the atmosphere. The seating area is absolutely beautiful, and the overall setup is impressive. They clearly put effort into creating a welcoming and comfortable dining environment. The presentation and atmosphere were on point, but unfortunately, the food didn't match the surroundings. My final thoughts: Beautiful establishment, excellent pita bread, and plenty of potential. However, the bland chicken and lamb, missing sauces, and extra charge for pita bread left me wanting more. I'm giving them 3 stars because I believe there's room for improvement. Hopefully, they can bring some more flavor to the table and pay closer attention to customer requests. I'd be willing to give them another shot, but the food definitely needs a little more excitement!
