THANKSGIVING DINNER. We skipped the Thanksgiving turkey scene and I ordered halibut and a huge Caesar salad, my wife had pasta Primavera. We split our chocolate molten cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert and had a cappuccino. We always take our own tiny umbrellas to put in our mixed drinks before a meal and I had a great Napa Cabernet Savignon with my halibut. Thanksgiving day is a great challenge for the kitchen and they delivered well. The wait staff was perfect in spite of a jampacked restaurant.

Third time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service are always impecable with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The owner greets us at the table and engaged in a pleasant conversation. Very reasonable priced for the quality, added by the fact that it is BYOB. Highly recommended.

The food is so delicious 😋 I love the stuffed artichoke. The meatballs are big and delicious. For dessert you have to get the ice box cake it really brings back memories of growing up to me. Just a little expensive.
