We had dinner with a group of 11 people, including two children. The staff is very friendly and attentive, food was excellent and fast to hit the table. Plenty of options for children and individuals with food restrictions. The owner and Chef is extremely passionate about what he does and that shows. The space is a bit dated, but that adds to the charm. Price was a bit high in my opinion, but average for the area nowadays.

I was looking for a restaurant for some seafood and this wasn’t too far from me. I came to the place and it was a very nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. The menu had a wide variety of seafood items, and it was very reasonable prices. I ordered a few things starting with the mussels and clams in white wine which was absolutely amazing. The service was top notch, the food was very tasty and very affordable. The chef was also super friendly and kept checking on me to see how I liked the food. I enjoyed the food so much I visited the restaurant a few times. I highly recommend this hidden gem.
