            Food and service was great. Will definitely go back. Noise level is strangely high for a small place.

            We love this restaurant. They have the best seafood cioppino. Wine selection is good and so is the service.

            Great food, attentive service and nice ambience. The restaurant looks from the outside unobtrusive but has a lot to offer inside. We dined here the first time and will surely come back. If there was only one thing negative it was the noise level.

            Food is excellent and service is very attentive, but the noise level is quite loud, so if that isn't a concern I would highly recommend it. It was so loud that the waitress had trouble hearing us. It was also a bit rushed. I would say if you want something more relaxing don't go there. If you are hungry and want a well prepared meal without waiting try this restaurant.
