            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.

            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.
