Excellent atmosphere. Definietly recommend. Its our second time there and again we came with our infant daughter and they were unprepared. They accommodated but only after they realized that their approach would hamper our childs safety and then they complied. Exact same thing happened the time before. Please train your staff to handle seating families with infants that will remain in their stroller basket. THe unprepared approach makes it a bit annoying.

First time here … what I would call as a great neighbourhood restaurant. The food was VERY good … if there was a 4.5 rating I would have given that. Our waiter was very very good. The restaurant is very loud and interior a bit dated. If I lived close by I would definitely frequent often.

Lovely dining room. Modern with slight retro feel. Nice variety of menu options. Service was excellent. Old fashioned cocktail and Pinot Grigio for drinks, lobster linguini had nice chunks of lobster and was well-preserved. Spouse had the burger, also delicious. Will definitely return and recommend to others
