One of my favorite restaurants. Food is just like homemade. Menu options are different and creative, alongside of the standards. Pecan soup is to die for. My husband and I are frequent customers who enjoy the cosy atmosphere both outdoors and indoors. Don't ever close!
I connected with the people there. Everyone was vibing and having a great time. The cooking was exquisite and tasty.

Beautiful spot with an antique and vintage decoration really beautiful… the food is good and fresh my recommendation that you won’t be disappointed is the meatloaf…. The one that is not good is the steak but besides that is a beautiful and unique restaurant that worth the trip

These is a charming place for a date night or friend get together. The ambience is relaxing, cozy and warm. The back yard whiMISICAL AND CLASSIC. I would give it a 5 star because I believe the menu could use a revamp, such as minus the starving artist plate, add some tasty dishes such as chicken frances or clams oregonati, and maybe some complementary bread with olive oil to dip as we wait. For dessert fresher, entire churros. like 4 pieces instead of 2 cut in half. This place could really soar !

An absolute delight. The back patio is quiet and dreamy (consider bug spray on a summer evening). The cocktails were well-made, the mussels heavenly, and the fish is prepared with love. It was the perfect capstone on a City Island day.

The ambiance alone keeps bringing us back. Cocktails are clearly made by someone who knows what they are doing and we always look forward to seeing what’s on the specials menu. Want to play it safe?…angel hair bolognese or the meatloaf.
The garden is lovely during the warmer months, but the charm from the main room cannot be beat.
