    Entertained a small group of work colleagues here after a day of meetings nearby. Our table was ready for us upon arrival, and service was great and attentive throughout the meal. The menu is tried and true, although unremarkable. Same for wines, beers, and cocktails. Everyone found something they were interested in and the whole group found the quality of each dish decent. Desserts were tasty and made well, too. We made quite a bit of noise as a boisterous group, which fit in well with this upbeat yet laid back bar-like setting. I’d recommend it for a reliable group meal in an easy-going setting.

    It’s more of a local bar. Lots of people there. Just had salad with chicken no drinks. The waiters and waitresses were very nice. Just not my cup of tea.

    We had a large group of six people. We started out with a couple of appetizers and a salad, and shared the Florentine steak along with a couple of other pasta dishes. We had a great dinner and service! Thank you for being a local favorite.

    As locals, we come frequently and it’s always great! We like to sit at the bar, but sat at a table this time and still had a great experience. Currently addicted to the pastas (paglia fieno, gnocchi, and linguine con gamberi specifically) which are all made in house and delicious! Drinks are excellent, food is excellent, and the staff are both fun and friendly. Highly recommend this local spot for a relaxed, no frills environment at great prices!
