    Noisy brunch that is more about the drinking than food quality.

    Arrived at 10:30 am, on time for my confirmed reservation, restaurant was closed and staff member mentioned while cleaning the bar that they open at 11am. They did not care about re-booking for later nor canceling our reservation

    I had a hit and miss experience last night. The clams were without taste, only what looked like baked bread particles had taste, and not one that I felt was pleasing. The mussels in garlic and oil were delicious after I took them all out of their shells and ate them with a spoon from the garlic and oil broth with a spoon.
