We enjoyed everything from the moment we waked in to the moment we left. Our anniversary was acknowledged by the hostess, our server and a manager. They also sent out a sweet little dessert. Timing was very fluid. I was very impressed with the acoustics- the restaurant was totally packed but you can not hear another individual conversation and can still make out the music. Hard to achieve without seeing visible panels or an abundance of heavy drapery and rugs which there is not. Food was perfect.

Had dinner the night after Christmas. Place was very busy, but we were seated promptly at our reservation time. This is a neighborhood restaurant with tight seating, but very comfortable and inviting. Service was attentive and friendly. We had the little neck clams over linguini and the salmon. Both were very good. This is a BYOB. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but not a showstopper. This was our first time there and we will definitely return.

We expected to eat a Thanksgiving dinner at this restaurant. Imagine our disappointment when we saw a big sign advertising the Brunch. We had to order from the regular menu with no specials. It was clean and our waiter was very good.
