    Wonderful lunch with my friend here. Not rushed at all. Great service. Delicious food! Salads, pasta, seafood and wine. Decorated for Christmas in the first floor dining room across from smaller bar. Delightful ambiance! Highly recommend!

    Great meal. The owner, Chris, seated us at a cozy private table and was very gracious. The food and service were outstanding. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was we wanted to go back to the bar to have dessert and an after dinner drink, but the music was so loud we left. We'll be back for sure.

    My $48 dish of seafood over linguine tasted super fishy. My husband didn’t like the sauce on his chicken Parm. It took us over two hours to complete dinner and we didn’t even order appetizers.

    We all enjoyed our abundant meals. Each of us took plenty home for leftovers the next day. It was very busy and quite noisy in there, but we enjoyed everything. Our waiter was great.
