    We went on a Saturday evening, and it was packed already at 6:00. So noisy that my guest and I had trouble hearing across a small two-top. Service was friendly but very uneven - no utensils provided with appetizers, a long wait for Parmesan - despite the many servers. My guest had a good Fisherman's platter. I ordered shrimp scampi and got a plate of soggy linguine in a watery liquid with some cut up grape tomatoes, some garlic slices, and about 8 extremely overcooked small shrimp. The whole dish was tasteless and really needed that Parmesan. And this dish cost $29, an outrageous price for what it was.

    Our waitress was an absolute pleasure. I cannot recall her name but young gal blonde hair from Ukraine. She was very personable, had a great attitude and understanding of the menu, strong sense of urgency and is an asset to the business. Please extend my thank you.

    Fish stick seems been frozen for so long, so tasteless Same as the calamari, doesn’t taste fresh and was not cooked crispy came to our table so soft .i have been to many places serves calamari and fish sticks so I know which one is quality. Also, the entrance carpet after you enter is so dirty No one bother to clean it. I told the person in the front stand but she said its done by night shift. Will not go back there again
