Absolutely delicious! This gem of a restaurant was the highlight of the last leg of our trip. The lamb shank was fall of the bone tender, the paella flavorful, and the supreme chicken melted in your mouth. Highly recommend and we will be back.

This is a hidden gem at the Church and Wellesley village. Food and services are always excellent. Price is good and they give you very generous portions. I love their shrimp pasta there. Been here for brunch a few times and their steak and eggs are excellent.
