    It was our first time there, and it will not be our last. The food was phenomenal. The handmade pasta was superb. Excellent cocktails, too. Our server, Jonte, was gregarious and so engaging. Can't wait to go back, and also to take the pasta making class!

    Our server Kristina R. was super cool and sweet! Our food and wine delicious and would highly recommend pretty much everything on their menu. We enjoy coming here to grab a bite prior to a show at the Alvas Showroom. This place is comfortable and makes one feel like you're with family and even if we didn't have a show to catch we would come out to San Pedro just to enjoy having a great meal here! Thank you all!

    Came for Saturday brunch. It was a gloomy day so it wasn't busy, but we were ok with that as we had 2 babies in our party. Service was exceptional and food was great with good portions and good value. Get the warm bread basket, it was so good. Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view of the marina, we'll for sure be coming back again soon.
