    Easy nearby parking. Prompt seating with excellent view of ocean and marina. Delightful, non-alcoholic spritzer. Delicious pasta-salmon cream sauce and lamb chops with fresh asparagus. Wonderful coffee at the end. Shall return.

    We appreciated being seated on the quieter side of the restaurant versus the tv/bar side. The food was very delicious and the service was prompt and excellent. The clams in my wife's linguine were super fresh and tender and the pizza I ate was as good as most East Coast pizzas. The crust was crispy, puffy excellent.
