    We both had the fish special, Fluke Picatta, which was delicious. Excellent waiter. Attentive but not intrusive. A very nice experience, as usual, at this restaurant.

    Our server was amazing and checked in just the right amount of times. The food was incredible and served hot, super fresh. Loved the old vibe of the place and the music to match, all the oldies made me think of my Dad. Was super comforting. I did get a MOCKtail that was probably an ounce of liquid and it was $14 lol so I will not do that again. But everything was awesome. Can’t wait to come back.

    This is my neighborhood "go to". I've been a regular since they first opened. We went tonight because of the specials that I had received via e-mail: Paper Plane cocktail, mushroom soup, fluke (flounder) piccata, a marvelous 10oz strip steak and of course their signature endive salad with orange blossom vinaigrette. The ambience is lovely, it is quiet and the service was great.

    We enjoyed a memorable dinner for my husband's birthday. We started with the delicious Tuscan bread and a 1/2 priced bottle of Chardonnay. My husband liked his Pinchitos (lamb) entree, and I wished I had gotten a full instead of 1/2 order of the Faroe Island salmon, as it was so flavorful and perfectly grilled medium. We ended with the warm homemade bread pudding and warm lemon-sponge custard, both of which were delicious!

    My wife needs gluten-free food, and the menu was clearly labeled, and on top of that the server was quite helpful and supportive of my wife's needs.
