    This is a busy, bustling place on a Saturday night but the despite the crowd it's still quiet and efficient enough to offer a very pleasant experience. The food and service are very good. Things come from the kitchen quickly and well prepared. The servers hustle around but keep track of what's going on at your table, so you never feel neglected. Very nicely done eggplant and chicken parm in generous portions!

    Great time! Had to ask for corn bread twice but finally got it! Fish chowder and mashed potatoes were not hot, rather luke warm to cold. But delicious nonetheless. Third visit and we will be back since we live local.
