“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!”

“This is the best coffee shop I have ever been to. The espresso was pulled perfectly so that you can clearly detect the distinct and subtle flavors of the single origin beans. I wish I got his name, but I could tell that the handsome young man with the brown hair and glasses who made our lattes really cares about producing high-quality drinks and takes his role seriously as a barista. I can’t wait to go back and try an espresso martini one day!”

To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day.

“Breathtakingly beautiful and scenic vistas of the shore and the bike track. Especially being seated in the patio area on a lovely sunny day, it was a truly mesmerizing view and experience.

The staff was genuinely polite, friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Not snobbish at all, thankfully! Very rare to find a truly professional staff on restaurant's nowadays. Special shout-out to Sarah!

Food was finger licking delicious. I am told they had just revamped the menu. I can't comment on the previous menu, but the chef knows their job well! Loved their calamari, PB burger, and the fries were extra super duper crsipy to die for! Just the cocktail I had was way too sweet (loaded with sugary syrup), so didnt enjoy that one.

Ample car parking on a October saturday afternoon, but it gets super busy during peak summer months.

The patio from the parking lot is directly accessible. Else take the mini elevator to floor 2 for indoor or outdoor seating.”

“Just had dinner here on Sunday evening. We were all blown away with every appetizer, entrée, and dessert! You could taste the tremendous love and care in each bite! We happened to be served by the co-owner, Adriana, who was wearing many hats that night, and she did so with such warmth and charisma…and a 1000 watt smile! Her sense of humor and positive energy was so infectious and we bantered back and forth all evening. She then sent out her equally kind-hearted, humble, and gracious husband and co-owner Paul, to regale us with family stories and we just laughed until closing. We had such an unforgettably amazing experience…and now have a new favorite eatery! Such a gem…we recommend this family-style Italian experience in the highest regard!”
