"Stopped by for quick lunch on a Monday. Food we ate was pretty good. I had the pizza and wife had the seafood platter. Regarding the drinks: Foggy IPA was really good! Mock-tail my wife had was not that great (mock mojito). I would definitely return, overall good experience. ——— Here again with family, Jan 2024. Had exceptional waitress, Tatiana. Steak was wonderful. Very nice upscale setting for lunch. Definitely recommend."

"12/20/23. Lunch. Consistently good Italian food. Prices are a little pricey, but what isn’t these days. Very friendly and helpful staff. Parking can be an issue as there are many other retail stores in the area. Plan accordingly."

"Service is good. We have people arriving late but the waiver took care of them. We were a party of 8 but the restaurant didn’t do an automatic tipping. The restaurant is spacious and good for groups. Food on the hand is just OK. I had the Caesar salad with salmon. The fish is a decent large portion with price tags of $13. The Caesar salad portion was small with a price of $14. I had better Italian food with better pricing somewhere else."

"Why not have lunch at this Italian restaurant today? I highly recommend trying their seafood pasta in tomato sauce—it's incredibly enjoyable. However, I must mention that the sauce didn't blend evenly with the pasta, resulting in some portions sticking together and others lacking proper coating. Unfortunately, the shellfish, particularly the mussels and clams, weren't as fresh as expected. On the bright side, the scallops and prawns were cooked perfectly, offering a delightful crunch and bounce. The grilled seabass and chicken breast were also delicious. The daily soup was decent, providing an average but enjoyable lunch. The service was good overall, though a bit more attentiveness would be appreciated. With a lovely ambience, you can enjoy sitting on the patio under the pleasant, cool weather and sunshine."
