    We were there early, prior to busy time so the restaurant was nice and quiet. I can't comment on noise level at a busy time. Food was very nice, service was pleasant and appropriate, price was very good. Enjoyed it!

    This is a diamond in the rough, neighborhood gem with excellent food, and no-frills service. You will feel like you are dining gourmet-style with your neighbors you rarely see because they live in stately homes behind massive hedges.

    Consistently high quality food and service at this neighborhood gem. Thank goodness the food trendies haven't discovered this place because it is relatively easy to get a table. It's sister restaurant, Melograno, is equally as good but more well known.

    Seating was quick and easy upon checking in. All of the staff were kind and courteous. Our server was attentive and repeatedly came over to our table to see if we needed anything. The food was good. I ordered the hot shrimp and salmon sandwich and thought both were good. Our table split 2 orders of crab fries because you can’t go to chickies and not get crab fries, they’re always good.
