    The venue is nice but the food was average for how much we paid. 5 out 8 fishes were very nice and the wine was unbelievable. The issue was that the barman cleaned cutlery during our meal which really detracted from the experience. Couple of the dishes were very poor. For the price, probably wouldn’t return. The waitress was lovely and her service was excellent so she really made the meal!

    The service was wonderful. I loved all of the recommendations that they gave and our favorites were the Arancini and the Steak with the mushroom "ketchup".

    The food was so good we went twice in one week. Perfect small plates. Save room for desert!!!! Our first experience was a week night and service was excellent, and a bit less on a very crowded weekend. Reservations are a Must for the weekend!
