A venue for everybody, couples, families or groups. The menu has many options and would cater to all tastes. Prices are reasonable and portions generous. The restaurant is off the main shopping space so you need to know that it’s there. On a cold night it would be nice to see the enclosed fire place on. BYO is on Thursdays and Sundays (there is a surcharge on weekends). A hidden gem.

We’ve been dining at this venue for some time now, as it’s our local go-to spot with consistently friendly service. The staff are always lovely and accommodating, which makes for a welcoming experience. However, we’ve noticed a significant increase in prices, particularly with the pasta dishes. While we understand rising costs, the current pricing leans towards fine dining, yet the overall experience doesn’t quite match that level. A little extra attention to detail in presentation or added value could help justify the higher costs. Additionally, we really used to enjoy the complimentary house-baked bread with balsamic oil—it was a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel more special. It’s a shame this is no longer offered. For reference, our recent visit (with no alcoholic beverages) included one shared pizza, one shared calamari, a bowl of fries, and individual pasta dishes for five people, averaging just under $60 per person. No coffee or desert! We still appreciate the great service and local charm, but we hope to see some of those special touches return or pricing better reflect the overall dining experience.

We had a fantastic dining experience here, it has elegant and beautiful ambiance adding to the luxurious fine dining experience.
