    On a flight my seat mate told me she would fly from Alaska (her home) just to go to this restaurant. Now I understand Why! Unbelievable! I went with my parents and we were BLOWN AWAY! The food had the most flavor I’ve ever tasted in food. I had the Marsala, the sauce BURST with flavor and the raviolis that went with it were simply amazing! Parents had two other items … my mom the spare rib, my dad the salmon. We didn’t want to leave and so we had desert and we were there for nearly 3 hours. I don’t know that I’ve ever spent 3 hours at a restaurant! Do not miss this restaurant and the pricing was so surprisingly good for the quality of food!

    Our waiter Mathew and Peter were exceptional and the food from the salad, octopus and all our meals were great. They also know a lot about different wines. It was nice to speak with the manager/ owner

    My husband and I came for dinner on a Saturday evening and had a fabulous meal! We sat outdoors and their patio is quite large with lots of seating, but we didn't feel too crammed against other diners. The outdoor heat lamps were perfect but they also have a large rack of blankets you can borrow in case you get cold. We ordered the eggplant meatballs, cheesy bread and the mussels and the salmon tortelloni and tiramisu. Everything was delicious, especially the sauce with the salmon tortelloni - we asked if they could make it a little spicy and it was absolute perfection. The service was great especially for a busy Saturday evening. We had a lovely time and look forward to coming back soon!
