    We walked in the door a few minutes before our 7:30 reservation. We were seated immediately! My husband had the sand dabs, I had linguine with broiled salmon—delicious! Our server, Jose, was excellent. We will be back soon!

    The food was beautifully prepared, prices were reasonable, and wine by the glass was a generous pour.
