    Celebratory dinner here for OSU graduation. Great ambiance, good vibe. Most food was really good, calamari and all shrimps were delish. Clams were very salty, fried fish was ok. Server could have been more attentive. Would come back.

    Sat on the patio—traffic noise was noticeable but not overwhelming. It didn’t ruin the experience, just something to be aware of. Food and service were 10/10

    The food was awesome and our service was off the charts! Everything was great EXCEPT it was VERY NOISY. There were 6 in our party. I could only talk the the people directly adjacent to me. This was a big negative to me.
