    The tables are too close, so you are basically in the next tables conversation regardless if you want to be. I get that they need to pack people in and if the food had been good I wouldn’t have cared. App came out cold. Waitress hounded us to order. Chicken dish was all ligaments so we didn’t eat it. Clam dish was sandy and fishy. Not what I expected from all the reviews.

    I get it was a busy Valentine’s night, but our server couldn’t have been less interested to make our experience better. Took forever to come over the first time, tens of minutes would pass between table checks, had to point out piles of dirty appetizer dishes we stacked for her to remove before putting dinner plates down, and she had a puss on the whole time. Add the noise level and freezing cold corner we were put in, can’t say we’ll be back. Sorry. Food was good though.
