    We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

    Great service! Good wine pours too. The pizza’s came out ten minutes before the pasta dishes and everything was tepid in temperature, not hot at all. However, the flavors were quite delicious. A bit loud, but that’s to be expected in the environment for which it is, -it adds to the positive energy. We would go back again with specific requests to ensure timely and hot food.

    Great seaport restaurant attached to a local hotel. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Lively bar area and comfortable seating. Food was reasonably priced, and service was very attentive. Great choice for a cold winter's dinner in the city. Also, great people-watching with parties in festive attire streaming through the lobby.
