The food here is really good. And they change their menu every so often so the choices stay fresh and interesting. It's a nice place to sit down and eat, there's enough space for tables to not be squeezed together, and the decor is pretty nice. Their bararea is pretty great too, they have a good variety of beers on tap and a good cocktail menu. Very fun to visit if you're on thisside of town!
The food was delicious. I REALLY wanted to understand my server better. I appreciate her coming to work, but speaking quickly with a strong accent doesn 't benefit anyone. I feel like the phrase know your audience would be helpful. I tipped her well,but the three of us couldn 't comprehend anything. We had to have discussions on what was the take away to order. Also, why doyou get a complete sandwich for $18 as a special but only get 3 raviolis for $14. They 're delicious, but I finished my foodbefore my friends. Way before them. No sides. No bread.
For the price, I was expecting better. My husband had the crab casserole which was watery and I had the only chicken dish available which I felt was just average.
I had my birthday dinner on tapas tiesday and everyone agreed it was some of the best food they ever had. Flavor, seasoning, execution of the final product, AMAZING Everytime ! Been a regular the last 6 tuesdays since they opened, and I’m never EVER disappointed ever. So delicious, great employees, great service. Highly recommend. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
