It had been many years since I had eaten here. The calamari was wonderful. We shared the foie gras pate. I unfortunately was not impressed. The flavor to me was mainly cream. I had mussels for lunch. They were good although for my taste, the juice needed a little more garlic. Our waiter was a gentleman from Turkey and was wonderful.

Caesar Salad is very good, but the Beet and Chicken Salad is even better! It would be nice if bread was served with a salad.

The food was absolutely delicious and a very good price point. Our waitress was busy but very friendly and attentive. Noise level was a bit loud and it’s crowded but overall we really enjoyed dinner and will be going back.
