This new, hidden gem is outstanding. The food and service were impeccable, particularly the halibut. The ziti genovese was also delicious, but the halibut is a must. I’m so glad this is a new place in the neighborhood.

Very poor acoustics, so was extremely noisy and had to shout to have conversation over dinner or just not try to talk!

We dined here after our small wedding at City Hall, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect choice. The lamb chops and halibut were both excellent, but what truly stood out was the hospitality—gracious, welcoming, and absolutely top-tier. Despite walking in at 8 PM on a Wednesday, we never felt rushed or pressured to leave. The staff made us feel like honored guests, not just another table. The fish was fresh, the service attentive, and the ambiance warm and intimate. And the cannoli? Truly to die for. Don’t skip it. We’ll absolutely be returning.
