"We had 8pm Dinner reservations, were seated promptly and the table had enough space. The decor is great, as was the service from the staff. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend the Wedge Salad. It had a unique presentation and the taste was exceptional. Best dining experience in a long time."

"Thank you Living Social!
What a find, great wine choices and excellent food, not your usual fare either, you'll be tempted to try things you never had before and you should, it's excellent. Jason was superb, personable and caring. Everyone helps to ensure you have great service, kudos to Jill too. Even with a large group across from us ( a birthday) it still retained an intimate setting for my girlfriend and I in that it wasn't noisy at all. A+"

"Another delicious meal. Started off with the mussels again. Yummy! I had salmon, my husband had scallops. Neither could finish them as the mussels filled us up. Brought the leftovers home and had them for lunch the next day. Just as good the second time. Looking forward to another meal there soon.
My only complaint would be that the tables are so small... juggling plates, drinks, etc. to fit on one little table is not easy."

"Delicious as always. Service extremely attentive. Started off with the mussels marinara. The sauce was yummy; if I were home I'd have enjoyed the extra over some pasta. If you get this dish, wait on the bread. You'll want to dip it in the sauce. For main entree, I had the salmon and my husband had the scallops. Both were cooked perfectly. No room for dessert as the portions were more than enough. Looking forward to our next meal there. The bar is lively but there is a glass divider between the bar and the restaurant which cuts down on the noise. Smart! Just wish the tables in the dining room weren't so close to each other - the only downside to the whole dining experience."
