Third time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service are always impecable with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The owner greets us at the table and engaged in a pleasant conversation. Very reasonable priced for the quality, added by the fact that it is BYOB. Highly recommended.

Decor, service & food were outstanding. A high-end gem down the Jersey shore. This was our first experience but certainly not our last.
