Our dining experience was wonderful. Our calamari appetizer, beer, and wine were a great start to a great meal. My wife enjoyed her halibut whereas I opted for a delicious pizza. Our friends, who arrived late due to traffic, were warmly accommodated at our table by the friendly, efficient waitress.

The service was good and the atmosphere is nice. But the food is average and not a great value for the price. Appetizers and on trays came out luke warm. I have been there several times and it is average at best.
