    I have come here twice with my Daughter and the food is very good. Price is fine , portions ok .
    We come when she sees her ENT which just happens to be across the street.
    No issues

    Really good food and service, my pork chops were great and wife's pasta with crab and shrimp was also really tasty.
    The service was also great, the staff was really friendly and approachable.
    If I have to fault anything I would like a bit less salt on my chops and the fact that an entree of soft shell crab was no longer available.

    Honestly, i have always been skeptical to come in here, but decided to finally do it. The restaurant itself is very nice - I loved the atmosphere. We ordered prosciutto & melon, branzino, and a special seared tuna over salad dish. Let's start off with the bread - it's served with butter and a tomato paste. Bread tasted like it was bought yesterday from the next door supermarket and I'm not sure what that tomato paste was, but it tasted like light ketchup. Although the prosciutto and melon was good, there was very little thought put into the dish - the arugula that came with it was just slapped in the middle with no oil or anything, just plain dry. The branzino was tasteless... we had to put lemon and pepper over it. Lastly, what I thought was a sesame crusted seared tuna was not what I expected at all. I ordered it medium rare, it came medium/well.. the arugula and fennel was drenched in lemon and olive oil. I regret not asking the price for this dish and I can tell you that it was most definitely not worth $39. Staff was great, food was not.

    I should have listened to my neighbors, but I wanted to check it out myself... should have listened to them.

    This place is no more than 3 stars. The outdoor dining is pleasant, and the wait staff friendly, yet the Bolognese sauce was sparse on the rigatoni and lacked a satisfying flavor (although the texture was nice).  The 3 stars come from my request for more sauce. The waiter took a while to bring it and claimed the delay was due to the need to make it fresh. The sauce was hot but it was a different sauce; almost no meat and enough cream to make the sauce orange. My initial plan was to try a place down the street. Next time I will keep walking and do so.

    Do not go here if you are a single customer. Do not go here if you are a female single customer. Do not go here if you are just stopping off for a drink on your way somewhere else. Very weird vibe. The guy in black (mentioned in a previous post about his preference for caucasians), also has a preference for coupled up caucasians. So fair enough, if you are in a couple and are white, go here, it looked like those people were getting good service. As I walked to the bathroom, he nearly ran me down in his sad expression of self importance. The waiter just gave me my drink, spilling some of it without apology on the table, and never returned to my table. I had to ask for water.  I couldn't get out of there fast enough, I felt so uncomfortable. They clearly don't want single customers. Never again.
