I’ve dined here several times and this time had to be my worst experience! The service is normally exceptional, however Bianca never brought my drink to the table, my food came out after the rest of my party so when everyone else was finishing up I was basically starting and the fish was bland and not cooked all the way. I just ended up packing it to go. Also I made a reservation and ended up sitting at a bar table and not in the dining area. The appetizers were great.

The food is amazing. I did make a reservation and they put us at a bar instead of a table. Ambience was still awesome though. We did have to ask 3x for the check which was frustrating by the end but overall will definitely go back.

First visit to the restaurant and it happened to be the day of a big 70th birthday event. There were not enough servers and the service was extraordinarily slow. (About 30 minutes to get water for the table. About 20 minutes for serving pieces for shared items.). The food was good and plentiful. The vibe was upbeat and great for a Sunday afternoon.

Wonderful service. Part of our party were seated while we waited for the others. The waiter was very nice and pleasant and gave great suggestions. The food was great , especially the bammy with cake and salt fish.

This was my 3rd dining experience. The atmosphere was commendable. Staff was very courteous. Food was great. My one disappointment. No non-alcoholic beer. Wish they would stock some sort of non-alcoholic beer.
