    We were seated promptly and our server, Terri, was a hoot! We had fried mozzarella, which came in large wedges rather than sticks. For entrees, my husband had lasagna, and I had chicken parmigiana. Both excellent and huge servings (we each brought home enough for another meal). Terri made the evening with her good humor and great service.

    Really good food prep, especially the mussels special which was perfect — very fresh plump tender mussels in steaming hot delicious garlic wine broth. Only thing keeping it from 5 star overall was barely warm potatoes served with croque monsieur sandwich, which was nicely made and generous on the ingredients, and the barely lukewarm coffee. Outdoor setting on Main Streetis fun and charming but loud. Loud music from across the street, it wasn’t bad, just loud, and noisy motorcycles love trolling the main drag

    Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.
