The service on the day of the event was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had ample time to decorate beforehand, and we weren’t hurried out at the end. I highly recommend this venue for private events! I’ve also dined there, and, as always, the service and food were excellent. Plus, the prices are very reasonable.

Place is not going for michelin star they are going for homey comfort food in a neighborhood tavern setting and they nailed it. The service was absolutely excellent. Looks like a bunch of the employees (our waiter and the hostess at least) might have been Farrell high school students or recent graduates but they were as professional as any maitre d’ in the finest restaurants. Cordial, respectful, attentive, and helpful from beginning to end. Really great to see. Food was excellent too. The shrimp Wellington is top notch. Flaky buttery pastry encasing succulent shrimp and crab with a bisque sauce. It was absolutely magnificent. I will be back just for that. Crab stuffed sole was solid as well. The 29 dollar prefix is also a serious deal as it contains a lot of great options including the shrimp wellington. Not a presumptuous place at all which I liked. Definitely worth a visit if you are on the fence. I will return for sure.

The prices are affordable too. I always order the clams because they're outstanding, and the pasta and chicken dishes are also delicious. Honestly, every time I visit, I leave satisfied with my meal. As for parking, there's free street parking available after 7 PM.

I've been dining there for decades, and the quality of both the food and service has remained consistently excellent. My personal favorite on the menu is the beef Wellington—it's absolutely fantastic, the best I've ever tasted!
