Customer Reviews
Food was delicious would highly recommend! Rack of Lamb, Scallops and Mussels were fantastic. Will definitely go back next time in town to try more.
Really enjoyed lunch at this pleasant location just a block from the waterfront. Friendly staff and a variety of special items for the day were all very tempting. I had the lamb pops with figs abd they were seasoned very well. My brother had a bowl of Cioppino which was very hearty. We shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp and they were very good but a little oversalted which is unfortunate. My wife had a soup several which was a thick curry served with bacon crumbles. The bacon paired well with the sweetish soup. Service was very good and I can't wait to come back and try some dinner entrees.
First of all I am writing this review on my own behalf. It was my birthday. I chose this restaurant to eat here as my birthday gift. I am sorry to say it was nothing like my past experiences. The filet minion was cut in half thin and the flavor just not there. Bland potatoes and scattered asparagus didn’t make up for the price. $160 after two drinks and two beers dinner for two. Most people cannot afford such a meal. There are some blessed with the income and this may be the norm but when I pay this for a meal for two with 2 beverages each o expect the food to taste better than home. As for the bartender, he is amazing at what he does.
First time having lunch here. We were warmly greeted, shown to our table and given water. Our server, Anastasia, explained the specials and took our drink orders. A good start because my coffee came with cream in a jug and an actual coffee spoon (take note other restaurants!). The coffee was excellent, no bitterness and hot. I ordered the Lamb Biryani Lollipops as I’d seen it on the menu earlier and I love lamb and curry spices. I was not disappointed. The lamb was perfect - succulent, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. I didn’t need the fries, but they were delicious too. My wife was very happy with her chicken and the house made chips. Overall, a delightful experience and a menu that made me want to try every item on it - we will definitely be back!
Best food I have had in a long time! I normally go to Island Way, but the fried green tomatoes app and german special short ribs were to die for! Service was top notch and the chef even came out and made sure everything was delicious. No complaints. Will definitely be returning!
