    Great friendly and quaint neighborhood location. Excellent and engaging staff including waiters and hosts. Food was top quality and well prepared. Great menu with fine selections for varied tastes. The four in our party really enjoyed the excellent calamari, short ribs, a pasta dish, and cioppino and scallops.

    We came specially because my 10 year old has been wanting to have their bananas fosters bread pudding. It was my Valentines gift to her. We had a reservation for 3 but my husband was called to work so it was just me and my girl. Maybe because of this there seemed to be a lack of attention to our table. When brought water we were the only ones around that the bottle was not left for. Later in the dinner I asked for more water which was never brought. We also asked for bread which was never brought. Our food came fast. My daughter had linguine with marinara and I had the bolognese. It was delicious but it did take a while for the water to come nearby and I had to flag him down when he walked past to ask for some Parmesan for my daughter. The pasta dishes were absolutely delicious. My daughter and I both cleaned our plates. The bananas fosters bread pudding as usual did not disappoint. Overall it was a really good dining experience because of the food. But I have had better service from the establishment before.

    My experience was very good. Got there early and they were able to accommodate us with a seating area to enjoy a glass of wine. Shortly after that, we were seated. Considering how busy they were that night. Our server did a phenomenal job attending us. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food and great service.

    I love this restaurant. The food is delicious, but the portions for he Valentine’s Day dinner and the table were too small making it uncomfortable to eat. I will not be going on this day again , but definitely on a different day.

    We came for Valentine's Day and had a prix fixe dinner for 2 and it was great! Each course was excellent with lots of seafood. The crab & avocado app was a huge pile of fresh avocado and crab. The amuse bouche was a shot of creamy lobster bisque. The crab ravioli was in a super tasty sauce with big raviolis stuffed full of crab chunks. The surf & turf main had a giant 12 oz lobster tail that had just a bit of nice char on it from the brick oven. The steak was a nice little filet though it was more medium than the medium rare that we actually ordered (in fact, the steak was the least good item at dinner!). Dessert was a nice, super light chocolate lava cake with a sugar cookie and vanilla ice cream on the side. We also got a couple cocktails which were super tasty. One was a rum & campari & pineapple drink that had great flavors. The other was a dirty martini with the Roquefort stuffed olives. Both were quite good, though maybe a bit pricer than they should have been. The ambiance was nice, especially for Valentine's Day. Each table got a long stem rose and each person got a complimentary glass of champagne. The service was a bit slow at times, but overall not bad.
