    The food was great. We were watching a band play, so it was loud, but so fun. The crab cakes are insanely good - tons of crab meat. I deducted a star because the lobster bisque wasn't the best - no lobster chunks and the taste was off. Other than that, great lobster roll, fun drink menu, delish oysters and great atmosphere. Will be back.

    Food isn't as good as used to be. Looks like they are using cheap noodles. Staff should be a bit more educated about the wine list because Barolo isn't the same as Boredeaux, so I had to order #233 from the list. Aslo if server brings two identical spaghetti calabreze dishes to the table he shouldn't ask "which one did you order". Otherwise decent restaurant, reasonably priced.

    Went here for the first time for lunch with a friend. We hadn’t seen each other in a long time and we weren’t rushed at all as we chatted. The food and service were both wonderful. We shared the bruschetta which was so flavorful and we both had the salmon entree which was excellent. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was divine. I also enjoyed the Italian soda mango mocktail.

    Strangely fell short. The food didn’t have the refined and complex flavors for this caliber of establishment. I’m not upset. I suppose it’s similar to the failures of a highly-anticipated movie that has the right director, funding, screenplay, and actors, but somehow does not dazzled and entertain the way one would expect.

    A bit overstated in terms of food and choices. Great ambience though, both indoor and outdoor.
