I waited almost an hour for my food to come out while the tables who sat after me all got their entree and even the dessert menu. Food was great, the lobster bisque was bit salty for my liking but pasta was great. the restaurant is right across the capitol building. It’s a very small restaurant so need to make reservations.

Food was wonderful, Sammy was a delight to talk to, and the prices were reasonable for the food you get. The portions are on the smaller size but surprisingly fulfilling. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. Overall worth a try.

We decided to dine here on New Year’s Eve. When I made the reservation, I asked whether there would be a special holiday menu and was told one was likely but not finalized yet. When we arrived, the menu turned out to be a smaller version of their regular dinner menu with higher pricing for the evening. Entrees that are normally around $25 were closer to $40. While not ideal, we understood the holiday markup and were fine with it. The main issue for us was the pacing of the meal. There were two of us. We ordered two appetizers, two entrees, and later dessert. Our appetizers arrived very quickly, about 9 minutes in, and before we had a chance to start eating them, the side salads for our entrees were already placed on the table. Shortly after, our appetizer plates were being married together to make room for the entrees. From the time we sat down, read the menu, ordered, received appetizers, side salads, and then entrees was about 22 minutes, which felt extremely fast for a holiday dinner at premium pricing. There also simply was not enough room at our table for all the plates at once. Throughout the meal, the service continued at this pace, with frequent attempts to clear plates

The food is very fresh, and handmade, which really took me by surprise! The portions are great, the chicken francese was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly cut, tender, and juicy, and had the right amount of pasta, even though I would love to have more on the dish- but that’s probably because coming from Long Island, NY, all of our portions are bigger than they should be. The salad that comes with the dish was fresh too- and the dressing tasted great too. Didn’t I mention the food is handmade? Yeah, ALL of his menu items are handmade- even the dressings! My mom had the chicken parmigiana, and she said the same for her chicken as for mine, and she said the pasta tasted homemade, and was just right portion wise. For the sauce, she said it was very fresh and vibrant! Needless to say, we both enjoyed our dishes very much, and we will be back whenever we’re in town again! After our main course, we ordered dessert, and that was delicious, homemade ice cream with delicious handmade chocolate hard shell! The right amount of ice cream, with the right amount of homemade whipped cream. Absolutely loved every bite of every meal we had. The prices for the menu items were priced

I have never had such an incredible meal. We had intended to just get something to go because we only had 15 minutes left on our parking meter. Chef Sammy met us inside the door and dishearteningly agreed to make us something to go. Then Josh, the waiter, told us that we didn’t have to pay for parking since it was Veteran’s Day. We decided to stay and boy are we glad we did. We had the blackened yellow-fin tuna in ginger sauce as an appetizer, followed by the wild caught salmon with capers and julienned vegetables, and the sautéd grouper & shrimp. It was exquisite and I savored every single bite. Then, for dessert, we got tiramisu and a cannoli. The tiramisu had the perfect blend of flavors and texture while the cannoli was just the right amount of crunch and filling. Both desserts were the perfect level of sweetness and provided a magnificent end to the meal. The food wasn’t the only thing that was amazing though. Since we came at a slow time of day Chef Sammy was able to take the time to share some of his origin story with us, and we were able to visit with Josh the waiter who has been there for 18 years. Amazing food. Incredible service. Worth every penny.
