Bellied up to the bar for a lunch and was impressed by the prompt service as well as the great looking renovations. The place is clean, bright, and friendly.

The couple next to me had the pasta special and stuffed salmon which looked fantastic and smelled great. Definitely going to have to come back and try more.
