    Impressed!!! Busy restaurant that delivers great food and service. It was busy holiday night ( we were told one of their busiest nights of the year) and you saw perfect execution from the complimentary valet, to the women who greeted/seated us. Waiter and bussers were dancing throughout the restaurant with purpose and ease. Our waiter, Hector knows his menu and was attentive, personable and cheerful. ( I was impressed with other waitstaff nearby. ) An expertly trained team. The food was sublime. Every ingredient balanced with nuance.We tarted with rock shrimp appetizer and the Cacio & pepe with lobster — so delicious. We ordered the specials- stuffed pork chop and I had osso buco. I had to have the Italian ricotta cheesecake with mascarpone. Our compliments to the chef.Outstanding!!!!! It is worth repeating that even on their busiest night , every detail from service to food was perfectly executed, We will be back!!!!

    We absolutely love this restaurant. It is our 4th time dining with them. Everything was impeccable, from the hostess, to the waitress and the owners. The food was as always beyond delicious. For Christmas Eve they had a singer that did traditional Christmas carols and some Greek music, which just added to the festivities. Wish I could remember our waitresses name, she was so attentive, warm and funny. We hope to have her again.

    Came for Christmas Eve Dinner. Feast of the 7 fishes. We started with a bottle of Chianti Classico. We both had octopus carpaccio. So tender & delicious. For the mains, we had snapper with, clams, mussels & shrimp with squid ink pasta. Totally blew our minds!!! A perfect way to start the holiday!!! Joe, our server was quick & very personable. We were too full for dessert but enjoyed a double expresso. We haven’t been here for a long time. Atmosphere, sitting outside on the water was delightful. A truly, wonderful experience tonight. We will be back soon for sure!
