    This restaurant has a variety of tasty choices. My soup was spiced just right, it came in a rustic bowl with a generous side of homemade bread. I especially loved the Turkish coffee!

    My gawd we ordered so many things from the menu. The buffalo mozzarella, fired calamari, bruschetta special and mussels were outstanding. Entrees were phenomenal and portioned generously. We had to sit at a high top at the bar and waited 20 minutes after our reservation time, but they were so apologetic and kind! I can hardly wait to return!!
