Limited, eclectic menu that packs a punch! Foodies should swarm to this limited seating bistro. Reasonably priced. Had the Caesar salad and the phyllo wrapped shrimp for appetizers . Both excellent. Main course was a confit turkey take on thanksgiving dinner with jalapeno cornbread stuffing and cranberry sauce. Second main was a baked salmon on a bed of zucchini / cherry tomato Relish. We ate every bit of it…lastly a Dulce de leche square of creamy deliciousness …a bit on the sweet side with a white icing on top and a dusting of pistachios. Sweet yes but hey, it’s in the name…it didn’t survive our attacking spoons. Head to this interesting dining spot before the season ends!

What an adorable little place we stumbled upon Place was empty and not sure why. Food was great and atmosphere was great. Right along Beach ave too. It’s a BYO and cash only. They take reservations obviously. We’ll definitely be back
