Nice atmosphere. Very good service. Cocktails were very good. Limited menu. We had the steak tips which were tasty, a bit chewy, and a relatively small portion compared to other local restaurants.

Hostesses were not pleasant and not accommodating at all when we got there early and did not show any effort in trying to find us a table. Not exactly what I call customer service. With that being said, we have been there 3 times within the last 2 months because of the lively atmosphere, great Italian food and amazing cocktails and bar staff.

My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.
