    Our first time at this restaurant. We ate at the bar and had a great experience with our Bartender Joe. He was very attentive, explained everything and was a very energetic person making the experience enjoyable. We also met the owner, Vic who happened to be next to us with a couple originally from Brooklyn. He introduced himself and welcomed us to the restaurant and we had a nice conversation with him throughout the night. By the way the couple from Brooklyn were also great people! We had the baked clams as an appetizer and my wife had the Halibut and I had the Pappardelle with a lamb ragu. All we can say is it was outstanding! No doubt we will return as it was an overall great time!

    Had an amazing dinner with Girls Night Out, there were 7 of us. Wonderful service, food was great, but I have to put this here: The French Onion Soup was to die for, the best I have ever had.

    Everything was wonderful but as someone with mild-moderate Celiac disease. I relied on the integrity of the wait staff for options of the gluten free menu items. She was honest with me about the possibility of cross contamination using frying oil. Luckily for me I was able to figure out great appetizers, entrees and desserts but it's risky for people who are highly sensitive to count on waitstaff that may not always be informed or care that much. Labeled menu items would help for consistency and letting the customer make informed choices.
