            We were greeted nicely seated promptly after our reservation confirmed. The seating area is nice, tables set apart. Our server was very nice and did a good job. The food was very good. Crab cakes crispy and tasty. I had the chicken piccata and the meat was tender but the sauce was more creamy and thicker than is my preference. I didn’t taste much lemon but there were plenty of capers. My wife had the pomodoro pasta and was quite pleased with that. Overall a pleasant experience.

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