Second time dining here. Everything was fantastic. The fixed 3 course meal is so delicious and such great value - nothing shortchanged in the dishes. Our server Jordan was so friendly and accommodating, and the ambience was relaxing and inviting. Such a great little gem in the neighborhood.

Small intimate setting. Excellent taste, presentation, portion size, and value at $35 for 3 course tasting menu. Totally enjoyed the ceviche to start, seafood linguine with a ton of mussels and clams, and apple cranberry crumble a la mode to finish the meal off.
