    The apps are huge and very good. The main dishes not so much. Medium burger was well done, the vodka sauce was too sweet, and my french dip roast beef, the roast beef was too fatty

    It's a cute little restaurant with decent food. It's situated in a great spot in Northport. The prices were fair. The service was great. It was a bit loud because the people at the bar are right next to the tables. We got the beet salad (really good), pasta with a vodka sauce (ok), baked clams (didn't like) and spaghetti with chicken Parm (great). Bread was so so.

    My husband and I enjoyed a leisurely Sunday brunch together with another couple. The food was ample and the choices were varied and delicious. Three of us ordered from the brunch menu and the fourth diner, a vegan, chose a huge salad from the lunch menu. Service was efficient and pleasant, the view from our window table overlooked Northport Harbor and we had no problem hearing each other in conversation. An overall wonderful experience.

    Service was very slow and not very attentive. Took almost 40 minutes to get our appetizer. Food was just ok….the muscles and the tuna appetizer were good, but the pasta and the steak tidbits meal were mediocre. Not someplace I would return to.
