    Very good dining experience. The pot of mussels was very generous, but not outstanding. We would go back!

    The restaurant was not busy at 4:30 pm but there was a”shift change “ and we waited a while before we were able to order drinks. Good food and drinks.

    When I have visitors, I always take them here for a meal. Service is always outstanding. With a varied menu for all, diet restrictions are always graciously accommodated. A great value, too.

    My overall experience was great at the bar. However, I would like this location to update their website regarding the Martini Hour. Is it available or not? When I asked about it sitting at the bar, we told it's not available.

    Food was good, the calamari was exceptional. Mussels were good. Food portions were large. Server disappeared for awhile but it was all good. Very busy but good experience overall.
