When we found out that there was a new chef investor (Alex) who started in the Spring, it all made sense. It was like a different restaurant. We had the lemon arugula salad, which was wonderfully flavored, followed by the beautiful presentation of Branzino. The Branzino's portion was very generous and resided on a delectable bed of greens, cucumbers, olives, and tomatoes. It was top notch! Overall, we LOVED the food and experience, and we can't wait to return.

Charming little place in town. The food was decent, but nothing particularly unforgettable. They do have a full bar, which is a nice touch.

The atmosphere is pleasant, but the seating arrangements were a bit disappointing, as the tables are too close together. Despite that, it was still worth it. I definitely plan to return!

We went in with low expectations but were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of both the food and service. We tried the grilled octopus, as well as the salmon and branzino dishes, and the fish was outstanding. I highly recommend paying a visit. We certainly will return. We had a wonderful time!
