PLUS Have a cocktail & Mmm the bread 🥯 round, served with creamy butter, is a must YUM. MY SOLO VISITS HAVE LED TO lovely dinners with my partner. Celebrated numerous occasions, amongst many a friend. THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS & VARIED TO PLEASE ALL. THEY WILL GLADLY PREPARE & PLATE , to your need/delight. Atmosphere a homey delight. SO I SAY (at least for a dozen yrs) GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY. START BEVERAGE/BURGER SIMPLE, IT WILL DELIGHT. PS: MY DISCOVERY, I was headed to the neighboring LUIGIS (also tasty - Italian fare, so it’s not competition, but rather compliment one another) I BELIEVE (CK it, but you can’t go wrong either way): TAVERN. OPEN ON MONDAY LUIGIES, OPEN ON TUESDAY WISHES FOR SWELL 2026 DINING, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE URS

    This place just opened recently. I went there for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. I had the lump crab cake appetiser and its one of the best. The crab cake was decent sized, and the accompanying roasted corn salsa was awsome. I had the chilean sea bass for my entree, and cleaned my plate as well. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The place has a the feel of a good old tavern. Dark wood, with some old photos on the wall, and with Christmas decorations throughout. Tables are spaced enough that it was not overwhelmingly noisy and conversations at the table was pretty relaxed. It was a very pleasant experience.

    Highly recommend coming for Porterhouse for 2! Burrata with prosciutto was my favorite appetizer. The creamy spinach is a great side with the steak
