Hidden gem in Lincoln road. One of the few restaurants there thats actually great and not touristy. Staff is super attentive and the food is delicious. Ambience is lovely.

We have been here three times over three years. They have consistently served the selected menu item to someone incorrectly. The first time my wife ordered the special of chicken and gnocchi. It was served with no chicken. When we challenged the mistake, the waitress tried to say the chicken was in the gnocchi. When we did get the chicken breast it was just dropped off at the table on a plate , no sauce , nothing. Last year one of my guests ordered shrimp and scallops pasta. We were informed they ran out of scallops and he would get extra shrimp instead. When served there was no extra shrimp. This year, a week ago, they were not busy , not rushed, still the same problem. Three of us ordered the sea scallops with choice of pasta ($32.00). All three were served shrimp and scallops ($28.00). When the order was questioned, we were told that is the way it comes. The menu says scallops, no check ticket said scallops. Plus one of the orders came with linguine instead of angel hair pasta. When the check came all three people were charged the $32.00 for scallops. Unfortunately, I am afraid that three strikes you are out applies here. They have a problem in their kitchen or wait staff.

Very flavorful and well-prepared lemon caper chicken and chicken parmesan. Friendly attentive service, even though we arrived a half hour before closing. Cozy atmosphere.

Hubby & I had dinner Fri Aug 9th. The food & staff were incredible. Hubby had the manicotti & I had the special, Chicken Chardonnay. Both meals were fantastic. My salad & blue cheese dressing was fresh & Yale had the lentil soup.. very tasty. So glad we went when we did as they are closed for a month & Friday was the last service before vacation. We will definitely be back.
