    The food was cooked to perfection, their calamari was some of the best I've ever had, and all the workers there were so attentive and kind! We will definitely be back!

    12/10 would recommend. Called in to see if they would take a last minute walk in, 5 minutes after telling they were all booked for valentine's they called back to let me know someone had cancelled their reservation and that we could come in. They were so nice and friendly. Made sure to pick up my jacket when it was hanging too low off the side of my chair, recommended my partner and I share a salad and get another appetizer from their prefixed menu (which I really appreciated), the portions were big, the food was really well seasoned, everything was absolutely beautiful. Thank you!!

    Turkey burger was fire. Fries was well cooked and properly seasoned. Tiramisu dessert was delicious.

    Arrived planning to have clam chowder, but they didn’t have any ready. The waitress was lovely. I had the small kitchen sink salad with shrimp and garlic bread. The salad was basic, but good. The garlic bread was basically two pieces of toast for $8. I parked in the lot behind the restaurant and there were several people just hanging out in their vehicles, which was odd. Overall, not worth the $44 my meal cost.

    romantic atmosphere but the food not good, The food wasn't good, the service was very slow, more than 30 minutes. It's clear that all the food is frozen and they defrost it quickly, which causes the food to lose flavor.
