Cute little place.
Friendly manager.
Prices were reasonable.
I ordered take out, but I imagine the service is just as friendly and attentive as the host/ manager was.
Good variety of options for the size of the restaurant

I really enjoyed the food and the service was fantastic!!

I got the linguine and clams in garlic sauce, coffee and tiramisu.

After a long day at work, I highly recommend eating here!

It's a little scary trying to get into the parking lot, but it's ok if you remember to stay on the right lane when exiting the traffic circle

I recently coordinated with Rob and his team to host a dinner for a lacrosse team. I was an out-of-towner and Rob made it easy to coordinate, even from a distance. His team set up an incredible meal for us. From the moment we arrived, everything was ready and handled. The players really enjoyed it and everything operated smoothly and efficiently. The food was amazing and I encourage you to stop into this place to sample the incredible food and welcoming atmosphere.
