   Service was slow and a bit absent throughout. The food was good - house made pasta was great, but the pesto on the grilled cheese appetizer was confusing, and the smokiness of the pancetta overwhelmed the gnocchi dish. Ambience was noisy and a bit obtrusive. It felt like a cafeteria. Overall we didn’t regret the experience, but we don’t feel the need to return.

   I have dined here a few times before. Always delicious. This food was not up to par. Sorry. The Flounder had nothing on plate but a piece of flounder. The Diablo sauce was a little creamy, which I didn’t expect. The biggest disappointment was the mussel juice. Who puts rosemary in that? Service was excellent. I recommended this place to my guests. Please do better…

   Lovely little spot for a quiet meal. Prices were high but on par with fine dining in the area. The cheese plate starter was not worth it- the cheese was very average and the Brie was hard. Entrees were much better. All in all a nice meal

   Our dinner for 8 was terrific! Our service was super, the food was amazing and several of our guests were committed to returning who hadn’t been to the restaurant before.

    We were pretty disappointed with how rushed we were by the overall experience. I understand valentines weekend is busy, but the restaurant should have opted for better service and experience than for the more table turnovers. The service had us in and out of our seats in less than an hour for our rare date night out. Our dish was off our table before we finished our last bite.
