    The crispy shrimp were amazing, satisfyingly crispy crunchy and juicy, with a sauce that was mildly spicy, just the right amount. The little gem salad was fresh, cheesy, not too much dressing, and the best bacon crisp things, I forget the name of them. The burger and fries were heartily approved of and satisfied a 6'5 tall man. Wine and prosecco selections were great, and an after dinner Hot Buzz coffee was addictively good, and kept the evening floating along merrily after dinner. The chocolate cake with sour cherries and ice cream was light yet pleasantly rich at the same time. It was a Saturday at 6pm, and it was quiet, great for easy conversation. Will be back for the shrimp.

    Unfortunately we had to cancel at the last minute due to extenuating circumstances. But I've been several times before and I know the food, service, and atmosphere are always top notch!!

    The pasta was bland this time and unfortunately the service was quite slow. Had to get up and get out own stuff at times from the service station. But I understand it’s hard to find service staff in the current times.

    A great dinner for my husbands birthday. The meal was fabulous from the bruschetta to all 3 pastas to the dessert. I would defined return for our next pasta fix.

    Best tasting food I've had in the city in a while. The table could have been nicer but the restaurant was fully booked with large parties, so it's understandable.
