The food was totally fresh and light and tasty. My son got the lasagna and we both agreed it was the lightest smoothest lasagna we've ever had. The side veggie medley were full of flavor and sauteed perfectly. The flavor of the chicken piccata was balanced and light, and the chicken was not breaded which I appreciated. The waitress was attentive and kind. It's a BYOB too! A hidden gem for sure. Anne M.

Terrific food and service! Happy it is BYOB. The place could use some sprucing up, but I overlook it because the food tastes soooo good, and the staff is very gracious.
