This is a wonderful little spot recommended by my friend Kevin Feehan. The staff is friendly, the playroom is fantastic, and the food is excellent!

The service was warm, friendly, and attentive – truly a great experience. I highly recommend trying the lobster pizza!

The pretzel sticks were hard, and the salad was missing from my order. I also received mozzarella sticks instead of eggplant fries.
