    We dined on the upstairs patio, guitar player below made a nice ambience, not too noisy, just right! Our server and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was good. A lovely evening!

    The bartender was adequate whenever I needed something. He ran upstairs to get what he needed. My girlfriend decided she wanted to have the beef Wellington and I’ve made beef Wellington before this had little pieces of meat in a very saucy wrap. It wasn’t good at all on top of the fact that I asked specifically for it to be medium rare it came out well and two little pieces of meat that were in my Wellington Were filled with tendons and it was very chewy. I spit it out, and I didn’t eat any of it and I showed him, but nothing was done. The appetizer of calamari was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend that the timing of the mail was not very good because the appetizer came out, five minutes later my salad came out and five minutes after that, the meal came out before I had a bite on my salad. That’s probably the worst thing that could happen in a new restaurant. I probably won’t go there again. I think I may have passed the McDonald’s that I’ll do before I go back.

    Went on a quiet Saturday night. Seated in downstairs cafe area. Suggest candles on the tables for a little more ambiance. Very much enjoyed the Haddock Italiano. The accompanying mashed potatoes & asparagus were also very good. My partner was pleased with his beef entree served with wild rice & asparagus. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

    We had the surf and surf special. It was three big stuffed shrimp with a piece of fish. The big stuffed shrimp had a crab meat stuffing that wasn't too buttery. It was a very good meal.

    Food and surroundings was nice. The service was slow though. The waitress was trying her best but seemed overwhelmed with all the tables she had. There was no bus boy to be found and dirty plates were stacking up on our table. We had to keep calling the waitress over to remove them when she went by. I think more staff should have been working especially on valentine's day Friday when it was going to be busy.

    Food was awful. Would not recommend. The French onion soup was cold, the prosciutto and fig pizza was actually burnt ham and jam on a pita style bread. The salmon was not stuffed with crab meat as advertised but very dry and unseasoned with breadcrumbs on top with a side of frozen vegetables. The best part of the meal was the dessert which was tiramisu . I would not recommend this place.

    We went for the Providence Restaurant Weeks and their offerings were excellent. The service was just as perfect.

    This was recommended by a family member who stopped in after work to have a drink with a coworker. It happened to be restaurant week and they were participating. My wife and I went for dinner and the selection of food was very good. It was a four course meal with lots of food and very reasonably priced. I would definitely visit them again.
