The three of us had a wonderful dinner, beverages were delicious, mains were good. My mother had the lemoncello shrimp and she said it was really good, but she didn’t taste very much lemon flavor if at all. That would be my only negative from the whole night. I will definitely be back!

We had a booth which was lovely for our book club discussion. Our server was excellent and we each had the grain salads, which were excellent! We had a lovely evening!

Food was delicious. I ordered the salmon poke bowl which I had last time I dined here. I loved it so much i ordered it again and was not. disappointed. I only wish there was a bigger selection of draft beers. My fellow diners loved their entrees also- the branzino and chicken parm. Will definitely return for lunch/and or dinner- since the menu is the same.

Great food but ordered two cocktails that were only partial pours (in an already smallish martini glass). Saw this is something others have been experiencing.
