    very nice evening celebrating the birthday of a friend. The food was delicious..we had the gnocchi with the seafood , steak frites and a hamburger...started with oysters...all excellent. the staff very friendly and caring. We had to wait at the bar for 30 minutes for our table...which was just fine! We got free drinks for the waiting, a very nice gesture! I would go back in a heartbeat!

    Possibly the best meal I’ve had all year. The Ice Ice Baby martini was as cold and delicious as it sounded. The cheesecake was unbelievable- I think it was the honey. And the dinner? Holy Cow. We all tried different things. As hard as it is to pick one thing, I’d say the wild boar ribs and the meatball dishes were the most amazing. I’m told they change the menu frequently; and I can’t wait for the next adventure. Am I overselling this place? I don’t think so. I joined this app just to write this review. Worth it. Oh! The gentleman who waited on us was a delight as well 😀
