    This is an old restaurant that has been revamped and under new management. Considering it has been open only a short time the food and service was OK. I believe they need more time to work out the kinks.

    Everything was excellent except for the noise. Need to get some kind of noise reduction system.

    This is a relaunch of a restaurant I've been to several times. In the past, it was a rustic small restaurant with pretty good food and service. The kind of place you could go to if you weren't looking for fancy but decent. The new design is more modern and trying to be more upscale. It has a new bar centered in the middle of the restaurant, and it takes up more room than the previous one, which was along the wall. The problem is noise. No attention was paid to acoustics. With the bar busy and only a few tables occupied in the dining room, it was impossible to have a conversation. As the volume grew, it got worse. We were told about their new menu and beverages, which focuses on Long Island. Many of the brands I preferred were no longer available. Service had some issues. We were not offered choices for water. There was no bread on the table or offered on the menu. Entrees came out before our appetizers were finished. Simple stuff, but it matters. My clams casino was mediocre, made with too much breading. Our entrees, the filet cooked perfectly, and the scallops were very tasty. I think this could be saved with some attention to the noise and some training of the staff.

    Don't let the small location fool you, this restaurant packs a BIG punch with food & service. Excellent service all around, from the moment we entered until the time we left. Every dish we ordered was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The owner went above and beyond for Father's Day giving a small gift which was greatly appreciated. Will 100% be returning

    When we arrived for our 7:00 reservation for a party of 4, there wasn’t an available table. So the owner put 2 tables together to accommodate us. After sitting there, for 30 minutes, we had to go to the bar to ask who our server was, since nobody came over. Finally, someone came over and did apologize , it was his first night. He was very nice and from that point, the service was wonderful! The food was amazing and we were all pleased with our meals. The scallops and risotto is one of the best we have ever had. The one thing I have to say is, the tables are very uncomfortable and so are the couches. The couches are very low and the table legs are awkward and there’s no place to comfortably put your feet. I think the couches need to be replaced with chairs. We’ll definitely go back.
