“ Someone recommended this spot on a local Facebook group and I have to thank them! What a gem! This is the most cozy little restaurant with a great cocktail menu, lots of specials, and friendly folks! We went for an early dinner and started with the cheese plate which was an amazing helping of cheese and bread, we couldn't even finish it as we knew we had 2 more dishes coming! We then tried the Duck Ragu which had warm and sweet winter spices, we will be coming back for this dish over and over again! Finally we split the short ribs which they were nice enough to serve on individual plates for us! The meat was so tender it fell right apart! Barely needed a knife! Next time we're leaving room for dessert because the menu looked so great! ”
“ A dinner plan with an acquaintance has been postponed, so driving home I stop here. Johnny the waiter/bartender greets me and I get a nice table upfront it's a comfortable cozy quiet, place and I can always find parking,, a big plus with me! Johnny asks me what I'll have to drink. I order the Primitivo. Johnny brings a tasting over and it's just perfect. Nice full/bodied red, with just a little kick at the end!! I ask him about soup, but I'm not into it. So I go with the burrata. It comes with delicious mozzarella, deliciously soft and fresh. Cherry tomatoes arugula salad and balsamic vinegar in olive oil. The real deal. The oil is high end and truly perfect Crostini bread nicely toasted. For dinner I forgo the chicken and opt for the fillet mignon! Medium rare please. It comes with asparagus, cherry tomatoes and more salad. Oh man just delicious, with another glass of wine! I remember a guy who was the bartender before COVID, so I text him and he responds right away. Brian was a great waiter/bartender. I send him a few pix and tell him that the place changed hands. He's blown away. We decide to meet next week before Thanksgiving! Look forward to reconnecting and seeing how his acting career is going!! When I first came in there was only a young guy with an older woman sitting down a few tables. At the bar was a young couple chatting it up with Johnny. By the time I ordered some ice cream the customers started coming in. Im glad because this place is a gem!! ”
