    Fantastic little spot. Can’t believe it took me this long to go there… service was excellent, food delicious and the atmosphere was lively. It was noisy probably because the place is small. Maybe not ideal for a romantic date night but otherwise thumbs up!

    I can't say enough good things about this family-owned and operated restaurant. The people there are fantastic, and the food is just exceptional. We have been coming to this restaurant for years and for various occasions, including meetings, date nights, and celebrations. Last night, it was a business dinner, and my companion had never been and was impressed. Big and special thanks to Ivana, who always makes us feel so welcome and so well taken care of. I dream of their cod dish. It's so wonderful.

    It was Barb’s birthday, I had asked for a cupcake with a candle. I think the staff forgot. No worries!
