    Menu is too ambitious and not particularly appealing. But food was good. Service was good. With so many restaurants to choose from on the North Shore, it wasn’t surprising that the restaurant was only half full on a Sunday at 6:00 pm.

    Way too loud in the restaurant. The food was mediocre and we rarely saw our waiter. Have been in many years, thought I’d give it a try, and it wasn’t a great experience.

    I love going to this restaurant. You could tell that they were short staffed but they did the best they could. They even made chicken vesuvio for me and it wasn’t on the menu.

    Food is just okay. Typical fare. Calamari was tender, not really that flavorful, but the sauce was very good. I had the scallop and shrimp on a bed of spinach which was good. Again kind of plain. The spinach was tasty. Not really what I was looking forward to. No creativity. Expensive for what your getting.

    Our waiter Myron was fantastic as usual. Food was good. Didn’t like sitting in the back room.

    The pasta was mediocre at best. Salad and lentil starter were good. Ordered a glass of red wine - awful- tasted old. Server was polite and friendly

    Food excellent, service attentive. Somewhat crowded and noisy. Biggest issue: poor bar stock selection, no Irish Whiskey choices other than Jameson (can't drink it). If they stocked Bushmills would have rated them higher.
