    I had the crab cakes. They were just so-so (I’ve had better on the Eastern Shore), and small. My guest had the grilled swordfish, it was very good. We had the spring roll appetizer, also very good with a tasty crunch.

    Took my elderly mother here for lunch. Requested and waited for a table with ambiance. Food was excellent and very reasonable. Fried calamari, veal marsale, ravioli with veal and a tomato cream sauce, and a special squash ravioli. All very tasty, served hot and very well priced. The dining room is lovely and sophisticated, a rarity nowadays. No one in jeans or baseball hats. Our waiter was lovely
