"AFter being seated and our order taken, we had to ask for drinks ast he waitress didn't offer any. Then after an hour's wait and consulting with the manager, our appetizzers (fried calamari and tuna taratare) finally arrived. We were warned that the plate was hot for the calamari, which it was but the calamari were only lukewarm. The mains arrived of pizza and seafood salad. The salad was bizarrely plated with a sort of smallish torilla like shell that contained greens and most of the seafood. Around this shell were a cupfull of dressing, more greans, fruits and some more seafood. It was almost impossible to eat in a balanced way to incorporate dressing, greens and seafood. The pizza was good and hot but anticlimatic by that time."

"We asked our waiter if the Halibut special was large enough to share; he said it was not a very large portion, so we each ordered it and took 1/2 home! Coffee w/dessert after asking if the decaf was fresh, was INSTANT COFFEE! We will return for drinks at the bar, but not for food!"

"Such a great find! A great spot in the center of town with interesting decor and what amazing value for money! I am a bit of a foodie so I presumed the $19.95 3 course meal would be fairly horrendous. I was so surprised! I had a very good wild mushroom soup, a fillet Mignon cooked to perfection, and a delicious flour less chocolate cake. From the very adequate wine list we ordered a lovely Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and an interesting Syrah from Cambria. The service was just the right balance of attentiveness and friendliness and the vibe in the restaurant was lively and fun. I very much hope that they can survive as this is a wonderful formula - the restaurant was packed on a Tuesday night, with people lined up out the door!"
