    Lovely dinner with friendly, prompt service all around from appetizers to dessert. Octopus and shrimp salad was my favorite part. Will definitely return more often.

    Food is always delicious and service if first rate. Love fact that it is a BYOB so you can enjoy your favorite wine with a great dinner. The fish special was delicious and my wife enjoyed the veal dish. The hot apple cobbler was a great dessert to cap a wonderful meal.
