Customer Reviews
A bit of an underwhelming atmosphere, think Tavern style complete with chalkboards. Food pricing was incredible, very affordable and very tasty. The calamari were incredibly crispy and very tender served with cocktail sauce, was definitely a unique choice. The paella was served, hot, and served concerning really quick, leading me to believe that it was previously frozen. Nonetheless, it tasted delicious and was loaded with sausage, some of the seafoods seemed a little bit fishier than to be expected however, overall it was a good dish. The desserts were the main attraction, all of the crêpes looked fantastic, but the tiramisu was delicious, and perfectly creamy. Our service staff was fantastic. He was very attentive and took great care of us.
This place felt like that warm hug after a very long day. Having worked all day and then driving 4 hours to get to Utica for a small getaway this weekend, my boyfriend and I stopped here for a drink and something to eat. The service was lovely as everyone was incredibly friendly. The food was AMAZING! Calamari was light, mussels were tender, potatoes were indulgent. The cocktails were on point. This place is an absolute gem!
The Paella was absolutely fantastic! The Caesar salad was delicious also. The service could have been better but improved as the evening went on. The atmosphere was acceptable but a bit crowded as we were seated by the bar even though we made a reservation in advance. However, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to patronize it again and again, though probably not to eat in but order and pick up because the food was amazing!
Had dinner here last night and the food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer which was made fresh and I got the bistro chicken for dinner which came with this delicious rice with a bunch of veggies mixed in and spinach on the side. The chicken was tender and delicious. I ate the entire plate. It was a Tuesday night so they weren’t too busy but it’s still a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
New years eve dinner sat at the bar greg was a great bartender whole staff was phenomenal too had the lobster ravioli that was a 10/10 and the lemon sorbet for dessert ended my meal on a higher note
