It was our first visit and were skeptical because of the location in the Falmouth shopping center but were pleased with the food and atmosphere. The service was outstanding.

They have the best chicken parm I've had in a long time! Walked in on a Friday evening with no reservation, and it was an hour/hour and a half wait, so I definitely recommend making one. We surprisingly found the last seats down at the bar and thought it was better than waiting for a table (the bar area is not that loud, and it was full). We started with some brussels sprouts and the focaccia, which comes with marinara, pesto, and garlic ricotta. Bread comes out hot with a drizzle of oil; it was divine. I was pleased they are very gluten free friendly, as they have GF pasta, and more than half of the dishes can be made GF. I decided on the chicken parm. The chicken was tender and full of flavor, and the pasta was a nice portion but didn't leave me feeling completely stuffed. My dad said his carbonara was good and not too heavy with the sauce. We also got dessert and decided on the flourless chocolate mousse cake. It has the perfect combo of chocolate and jam. Some chocolate desserts are too rich for me, but this is light and fluffy and we were able to finish it all. The service and bartender are excellent; we had multiple people attending to us and they were very efficient. I can't wait to come back!!!

Great service Great food Seating areas was spreadout enough, it didn't feel crowded even though the restaurant was full. Our server was very attentive and had great attention to detail. She was patient when members of our party were running late. She continued to check and refill our drinks with a smile. I ordered a Miss Peaches Mocktail which was delicious - but after a sip, I remembered it had tea and most likely caffeine, which I don't drink, so I asked if I could change to a Strawberry Lemonade mocktail. She smiled said not a problem and when I offered to still pay for the other, she politely said, "absolutely not" because it wasn't what I wanted and I hadn't drank any of it. Very nice of her. We started with the focaccia - it was perfectly warm and delicious. It cam with three different "sauces" - Pesto, Garlic Ricotta and Marinara - all were delicious. We did admittedly fill up on bread...we just couldn't resist. I had risotto with chicken for my entree, it was so good!!! I could only eat about half of it....and it was so good, that my friend took it home as she knew her husband would absolutely it. I definitely prefer sitting at a table with chairs vs sitting in a "couch" booth. The over stuff chairs can be very uncomfortable if your short and feet are dangling. There's plenty of parking. What's interesting is where the entrance is....I parked on the wrong side :( Park on the side with the long ramp that faces the adjacent building not the driveway into the plaza. I highly recommend if you are looking for a nice place outside of Portland for Italian. Low effort to get to and navigate and the food and service is Excellent!

Upscale Olive Garden. Great place to bring your grandparents. The chairs upstairs by the window felt like your dad's favorite recliner. Service was ok as they were short staffed and had to bring someone in from one of their other restaurants so he wasn't familiar with the menu. We started with the Lobster bisque which was tasty, but a bit too liquidy and wish it had more lobster meat. 6.4/10 Calamari was good, big portion, pretty fresh too. 7.2/10 Arugula salad was great, super filling from the beets. A little under dressed but in my opinion is better than being over dressed. 6/10 Chicken Parm was a little dry and I wasn't a big fan of the plastic like cheese. On the other hand, we were very happy with the marinara sauce. Sweet, savory and everything nice. Noodles were dense and round. 7/10

While this group of restaurants might not be considered the finest cuisine, the service and dog-friendly outdoor bar & patio make it a nice summer spot. Sparking modern covered patio is outstanding, especially for the feeling of privacy being so close to route 1 and facing strip mall parking. We never sat indoors so can't comment there. Food is decent, some local ingredients but overpriced. Yet the other pluses make it a worthy destination if you're in the area.

Service was impeccable. Alyssa was an excellent server. Table of 5, delicious food and drink. Our table enjoyed the steam mussels, the chopped and seasonal salad. Entrees included the 18 oz ribeye, chicken parm, 8pz filet and seafood with pesto cream sauce. The garlic mash is good and I had delicious Brussels sprouts. Cocktails and wine selection were great. The desserts were good including tiramisu, pistachio gelato, a key lime brûlée but the star was a strawberry cheesecake with crumbles. The ambience and decor of the restaurant is relaxing and beautiful. Everyone from the hostess , table runners and servers were friendly with smiling faces. We thought the restaurant was moderately priced and a great value for our dinner of 5. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.

My husband and I went for a date night dinner here. I have been in a couple of times before, and it was kind of hit or miss. This night was definitely a hit. We started with the fried calamari, which was a huge bowl of lightly breaded and fried rings and tentacles. Very crispy, with a good remoulade to dip. For an entrée, I had the haddock piccata. This was a huge piece of fresh fish, lightly breaded for pan frying. It came with several fingerling potatoes and perfectly cooked broccolini in a lemony piccata sauce. I could only eat half of the fish and took home the rest of the meal. The fish was very flaky and moist. My husband had the chicken Parmesan, which was a huge piece of breast meat. It was very crispy, but he felt that it was a little overcooked because of how thin it was pounded. I tried it and thought it was just right and not overcooked at all. The homemade pasta was al dente, and the sauce was very flavorful with a good blanket of cheese. While this is not a cheap night out for dinner, I felt that the portion sizes were respectable for the price. We sat in the bar area, and the bartenders who waited on us were attentive and on their "A" game. Of course the decor in there is so elegant and tastefully done. The chairs at the tables in the bar were comfy, although I needed to put the pillow under me to give me a little rise up to the table. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant, but we will be back.

Every bite of the vegetable tagine was an explosion of flavors. The vegetables had the tang and spice of turmeric and paprika and the cous cous had a slightly sweet flavor of fresh mint. All of the root vegetables were cooked to perfection, nothing was over cooked. There were four people in our party with varying tastes and everyone enjoyed their meals. The restaurant is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. You would never know you were in a strip mall, once inside. Our server was prompt and polite. The only problem was with the seating. We chose the restaurant based on the availability of parking close to the building, as one of the people in our party has limited mobility. Although we had a reservation, we didn't realize that the majority of the tables require the ability to climb a number of stairs. Although we asked for a table on the ground floor, and it was clear that one of the people in our party had a cane, the young host still gestured to seating up the stairs. Ultimately we were seated on the ground floor but between the noisy kitchen and server station which diminished the experience. The food and service by our server were amazing, however, if we go back we would request a table on the ground floor, away from the noisy kitchen and server station.

Had a nice happy hour experience in the bar area recently. I arrived a bit before the others and sat at the bar. I ordered the spicy passion fruit margarita. The bartender told me it was his recipe and he'd throw it out if it was too spicy. It ended up being delightful. When the other 3 people arrived, there wasn't room at the bar (the place filled up quick for happy hour), the bartender offered to put 2 extra chairs at a cocktail table. These tables only had 2 seats and it did feel weird having 2 extras added and sitting in the area where people walk, but it was the only choice. Larger tables require a reservation and actual dinner service. Drinks are half price during happy hour so we had cocktails and then red wine. Eventually we each ordered bar appetizers. I got the crab arancini and the truffle fries. I was really excited about the crab arancini but it wasn't Maine crab and I didn't like it. The fries were great though and my husband was happy to have the crab brought home. I'll admit, I couldn't even tell where the entrance was so I wasn't sure where to park. I figured it out after driving around the building a couple times. I'd visit again for HH but would like to order more substantial food. The menu sounded great.
