    A lively crowd ended their week enjoying fine dining and drinks at bargain basement happy hour prices. Grilled jumbo shrimp over the mistra salad continues to be my favorite choice.

    For the price that we paid, the service did not match. Truthfully our waiter was extremely forgetful and very inattentive. Frequently forgetting items. Furthermore, charging for soda refills and seltzer water refills is absurd. The bread came out with the appetizers, the food was lacking flavor and needed salt, which was not available. Had high expectations and hopeful that if we return it will be better.

    It was relatively quiet in the early hours of Happy Hour, nevertheless, chef Giovanni provided his usual skill in fixing on dining requests.

    Fava was all around excellent. The food was outstanding from the appetizers through desserts.. The service was impeccable. There was live piano music, which was wonderful adding to the ambience. It was a Saturday night, so very busy which made it a little bit noisy but overall I would definitely go back and recommended friends. ..

    Although the deep fried calamari is quite tasty, the chef is happy to steam the naked calamari resulting in a healthy dish with a delicious dipping sauce.
