Just stopped for a quick bite and the food was out of this world. One of fellow diners had crab crusted halibut and it was fantastic.
Crab cakes were delicious 😋. Nice small delightful place. Will definitely be back!
I ordered the fish and chips with salmon. The salmon was some of the best I've had, and the fries were some of the worst so that's conflicting.
This place was very confusing. The menu advertised itself as more fine dining but the atmosphere was the complete opposite. The decor was mismatched and dusty. It was 50 degrees outside and they kept the front door wide open, so it was freezing in the restaurant. The food…. Again, for the prices I expected A LOT better. My friend and I got crab cakes, a chicken sandwich w/fries, and a tri-tip sandwich w/fries. The crab cakes were good but the were dense and a little greasy. The Chicken sandwich tasted a little off (maybe the seasonings used in it) and was so soggy it completely fell apart. The tri-tip sandwich was not actually a sandwich. It was open faced, had a lot of sauce (soggy), and the sauce on the meat was a weird sweet/sour combo. Lastly, it’s amazing that I had burnt and uncooked cooked fries on one plate. The burnt fries were so hard that you could not bite them and were sitting in a pool of grease. When we walked in there were only 3 tables filled, that should have been our sign to leave. You live and you learn. 🤷🏽♀️
Amazing oh amazing!!! I can’t say enough about this place. The bloody Mary’s are also delicious.
Excellent food and service! Went in for lunch, I had the crab melt and my husband had the chicken sandwich. We both had the fries, HOMEMADE!!! A must when in Florence!!!
My crab melt was delicious, but my fries were pretty awful. They were so crispy they were difficult to eat. I was also hoping that there would be more crab but there was very little. The sandwich was still really good.
My wife and I stopped here for lunch and were blown away with food and service. The meatball sub i had was fantastic. Some of the best meatballs I ever had. Highly recommend this place.
Food is excellent! Friendly and great service! A hidden gem in Florence! Our favorite restaurant!👍🏻

We attended the New Year’s Eve dinner Special..Let me preface by saying we had had lunch here the week before and it was very enjoyable so the expectations were high when we made the dinner reservations.. The restaurant is small and was busy..we arrived and were seated (3) quickly..among the first few to arrive for that seating.The 2 waitstaff were very busy trying to keep up with seating,drinks,water etc..so a wait was expected.We ended up being the last table to be served for each of the courses. The appetizer scallops were pretty cool in temperature and rubbery but edible. The main course not so much..the asparagus was extremely overcooked and dried out..looked like grass.The lobster tail meat had a tough layer and was so rubbery it was difficult to even pierce to cut.The ‘loaded’ baked potato was a mushy potato filling with sour cream on top.The steak was cold under the lobster. We did send our plates back and they returned almost identical except the steak was now warm but had changed from the requested med rare to med well..uggh! The dessert was Tiramisu and unfortunately still frozen in the middle..it seemed to be a commercial dessert from a Chef Supply store that hadn’t been defrosted in time.. Suffice to say,my dogs had a dinner of lobster and steak the next day..they didn’t care if it was overcooked! My thought is they took on too much by trying to serve time-sensitive cuisine to everyone at the same sitting..that lobster and asparagus must have lingered under heat lamps for a considerable length of time to be that bad! Definitely a waste of $312 plus tip for 3 dinners..lesson learned. ( And to be clear,I did message the restaurant after we left to see if there was perhaps some extraordinary explanation for allowing that incredibly awful food to be served and as of today,have only received a generic’ thank you for reaching out,we have your message’ reply.) Really very disappointing ..not sure which was worse..the poor customer service or the really inferior food.
3 of 4 meals sub par:
Seafood pasta: linguini way overcooked, halibut was scraps, scallops tough and dry, prawns ok
Flank steak: cut 1/2 inch off all around as well+ done and inedible
Salmon: way overcooked and dry.
Wheelchair accessibility: Steep ramp up two steps height
