    Rob waited on us and provided excellent service., as usual. We had the crab cake appetizer, shrimp and Rockfish piccata and Flounder Francaise, both were outstanding; however the Flounder was a little better than the Rockfish.

    Mother's day, we had reservations for 6PM, arrived early, but they had a table available. Place was full. Only 3 wait staff, and 2 in the Kitchen. So although things were a bit slower than normal, no sacrifice in quality. Our waiter we have had before, but we waited our turn ordering and kitchen. Wife had a small side salad that was over flowing the dish. she had the Rock fish entree, lots of fish, very good as usual. I had the fried green tomato Caprese , three decent sized fried green tomatoes, great balsamic lettuce chiffonade, I should have stopped ther e, but i ordered the steak entree came with roasted new potatoes and asparagus. had to box my entree. i had a glass of wine, for desert wife had the three cannolis, she said very tasty and the shells were crisp. i had the chocolate hazelnut cake. I was so full, shouldn't have gotten it. It was a good cake, nothing special, but quite taste. Bill came to $142.00 with tax but before tip.

    Another great experience! The service in this family owned restaurant is unsurpassed. Not a need goes unnoticed. The professional wait staff and bar staff anticipate everything. Our most recent visit was a vey busy Mother's Day late afternoon into evening. Despite the full restaurant, we were not rushed nor delayed in enjoying a delicious meal, perfect cocktails (as always) and homemade desserts. What a treat. And this place is casual enough for dressy jeans and classy enough for dress up!

    Our server was excellent. Can’t say the same about the greeter who was surly and when asked a question simply shrugged her shoulders and said I don’t know. We had reservations made 4-5 days previously and when we were seated we asked for a booth and were told we could not have one, that all the booths were reserved, though upon making our reservation there was no opportunity to reserve a booth. At the time we were seated there were 7 empty booths. When we left 75 minutes lster there were still 6 empty booths. Were all booths realky reserved when we arrived, I doubt it. As for the food, the veal parm was its usual excellent dish, the fettucini with bolognese was not great.
