    Our second trip here, and was very good once again. Shared a Scallop appetizer and a Caesar, both quite nice. Grouper and Shrimp Mozambique for entrees... very tasty and nice portions, perfectly cooked. Drank glasses of the house Chianti, which was very pleasant. Service was efficient, maybe too efficient, but we recognize that most diners at that early hour (including us) were heading to a show, so they make sure you get there. We will return!

    Superb meal and waitstaff! It was also good to see the restaurant was almost filled with patrons. It is a great re-vitalization of the previous excellent dining gem!

    The wine we chose was delicious. A low tannin Malbec. The bread was in a paper bag, which was different, but it was very good, as was the Olive Tapenade. The mushroom soup was excellent, and a nice large bowl. I was disappointed in the duck (not the presentation, but the quality of the meat). I didn’t care for the vegetables. My husband’s Oslo Bucco was a large portion, but he said it was somewhat bland. Service was excellent. I would try this restaurant again, but make different choices.

    We had a great meal. I was quite surprised at the quality of the of the food, it was very good. The portions could have been a little larger but that was my only complaint.

    It is an adorable place and the service is excellent. But we felt the food was underwhelming. The mushroom soup was delicious. The Bronzino, chicken and grouper were all average.
