We went on Wine Wednesday and so there was no corkage fee which was a definite plus. The menu is limited but overall we were served very tasty food. Our group had a variety - the salmon, spinach ravioli and short ribs were delicious but the chicken picata was only so-so. You had to pay extra for a plate of artisan bread which was a bummer. Overall a good evening and the restaurant and patio were busy.
Some sort of shrimp scampi pasta. Excellently crafted. They're not jumbo shrimp, but I think the size worked well here since the sauce is the heart of the dish: more surface area, and they definitely don't skimp on the portion there. There's a touch of pesto and chili that elevate the cream sauce.
A really nice place, good food, friendly service, patio dining, extensive wine list. The appetizers are really just for 2 people, you can stretch it if you need to, but they are small, very tasty though. The Caesar salad with real anchovies was very good (I’m a Caesar snob). The Brussels sprouts were toasted just right, a lot of nuts edged on too many but great flavor. The short rib was really good, as was the scampi linguini. The house wines were so-so, but they have better...
