I've been here many times because for us, it's a neighborhood spot, but this is the first time I ate in the dining room on a sunny breezy afternoon. Great atmosphere with the windows open to let in the outdoors. We had a delicious meal and a great time.

Service was great but appetizer and delivery of main course were to close. Table size is small for the dishes they use. Serving of food is great but if you are planning to have a table of two better skip the appetizer and go into the main meal. The size table can’t handle drinks plates silverware main plates not food all together. Ask for a booth for a table of two
