    Front door seat should be relocated during winter - or all the time. Had to bear people hovering . Plus the cold . Food was decent. Looked more like a fancy pizza shop presentation not a restaurant

    Some excellent dishes served to the four of us. The portions are generous and of quality. One appetizer, the fried calamari, was neither crisp nor hot, so we hope they can bring it out of the kitchen quicker. The four main courses including the fish special demonstrated an excellent chef. All of the deserts were Diner quality and need to be reimagined. Cold crème brûlée? We will be back and hope they take the few needed steps to become a designation restaurant.

    First time. Saw great reviews and thought would give it a try. Great BYO spot. Service and food lived up to the reviews. Attentive service by the staff and menu/food options were wonderful (and yes, their Chicken Parm was top notch). Crème Brûlée was one of the best versions I have ever had. Highly recommend this spot.
