Absolutely amazing food, family-centered staff and dedicated owners!! What more do you need to know? The food is always unique and delicious. When we come home to CT this is our go to restaurant ❤️
Loved our first visit here, the decor could use an update but the food, drinks, & service more than make up for that!
A must visit!

Loved the private dining room and authentic flavor and wide menus selection. Not fancy but yes, fine dining. Seems like a lot of soul poured into this place .
