    My wife and I went for a chill easy dinner at 8 on a Saturday. It was loud if you like that. I don’t mind it but it’s hard to talk across a table without yelling and feeling like the table next to you was in on it… I know that’s how it is a t a lot of newer places but that’s my only downside. The service ,food, price was on point and the building is really cool. We got a pizza, salad, and split at bowl of mussels- overall great

Love the paintings and ambiance The fall special salad was very good. My Fluke was made well. Only regret was that we were too full for desert.

    Everything was outstanding. I do not usually leave reviews but I think that this was worth while to let folks know. We were early for our reservation but they made an effort to accommodate us early. We were very lucky that they could do so. There is no area to actually wait for a table. They advise folks that they have limited space and that is true. The service and food was exceptional. Well worth dining here.

    Everything from our Calamari appetizer to our entrées of Mediterranean Sauce with Shrimp and Seafood Casserole were excellent. It also didnt hurt that we had a spectacular sunset overlooking Bristol Harbor. Our server Kristen was attentive and joyous. A great dining experience.
