Run, don’t walk to this restaurant! It is awesome!! Everything is terrific! Great red and white wine selection! We celebrated an anniversary so we had the fabulous Burrata with great homemade pesto drizzle and surprisingly delicious tomatoes! (And it’s March!) Wedge salad and Caesar didn’t disappoint with lots of cheese and homemade dressings! Then came fabulous entrees! My husband is picky about cioppino and he loved it! It was filled with large shrimp, clams, fish, scallops and loads of delicious, delicious sauce/broth! (Be sure to ask for extra bread to sop up any extra!) I ordered the special fish of the day which was a huge piece of a tender, delicate rockfish cooked to perfection with a lemon wine sauce! Still wanting pasta, our server suggested that I could substitute pasta for the potatoes so I jumped at the chance. That was the best decision! Their homemade angel hair pasta is divine! Then came 2 wonderful desserts, tiramisu and the outstanding pistachio cake and then decaf espresso! Whew! What a food coma, but this was an outstanding meal! Run, don’t walk there! It’s worth it!

It's was an okay experience. Good for every day dinning. It's NOT good for special occasions. It is too small and too tight for a romantic dinner and cheap.

Salmon very good. Steak semi tough. Not warm when served. No choice of vegetable. Martini excellent along with wife’s drink. Slow service. Would probably go back sometime in the future.
