    A lovely neighborhood eatery! And quite a bargain for such wonderful service and food. We had an early concert and had the happy hour special.. more food than I could eat! I’d go back in a heartbeat.

    Was here for a family dinner for my wife’s birthday, it was fantastic! We ordered Seabass, steak and seafood pasta and all were delicious. Service was friendly and the house wine was a great value ($10/glass!)

    Delicious food at a great value! I love how the ingredients are always fresh & serving size is generous. They have many entree options, and if you're on a budget, they offer the early bird special that includes salad & dessert. And I'm always impressed with their service. Staff are very polite and super friendly - whether you're 7 or 70 years old, they find a way to give you a good laugh & make your dining experience a pleasurable & memorable one. I always appreciate this and will keep coming back.

    Great food. Great service. You can’t beat the early bird special. I had the chicken Marsala. It was DELICIOUS! And very generous portion. The sticky toffee bread pudding was one of the best desserts I’ve had. I’ll definitely be back.

    A true neighborhood restaurant. Love the food, love the atmosphere (although it is has a tendency to be a bit loud when all the groups of neighbors get together
