Customer Reviews
We were looking forward to coastal Italian fare and this restaurant did not disappoint. There were so many great items on the menu. The waitress was even nice enough to split the salad and main course for us. The mushroom arancini balls were delicious! We asked for them to sub the Marinara sauce for spicy pomodoro sauce and it was so good. We also tried the spicy seafood and the halibut and both were outstanding dishes. I would definitely come back again. The dessert wasn’t too bad either, we had the affogato.
We were there for a private dining in "The Pearl". Everything was wonderful. Our bartender was friendly and made delicious drinks. The food was fantastic. I especially liked the chicken piccata. The desserts (creme brulee and spiced pear cheesecake) we selected were so good! This was my second visit to the restaurant and it really is a treat!
Food was excellent and they nailed the medium well, which I know isn’t the most fun to prepare but they still did great. Very long wait time for our entrees. They were busy and other waitresses stepped in to keep our service moving. Our waiter Nick and his team did an excellent job. Felt comfortable and not rushed. Will return.
Very impressed with the food here. Also, we walked in on a very busy Friday with no reservations and the only seats available at the bar were reserved. Manager heard us talking and adjusted the seating so my boyfriend and I could squeeze in. Our bartender/server was a delight and the photo was phenomenal. The best lamb I've had in years and the hamachi is a must!
Fantastic! The location, being in a strip mall setting, kind of threw me off and lowered my expectations for a "fancy" joint. The service, food quality, food timing, and everything else with the experience far exceeded any kind of expectations. I was on a 1-day work trip at work paid, so I bought extra just to try it out. However, I did have to pay for the smoked old fashioned out of pocket. The presentation and mixture of the old fashion were perfect. Never had a smoked old fashioned but it's made for a cool picture.Haaa. Appetizer- Shrimp & Crab cakes - Amazing Eggplant bruschetta - Good quality, but I'll stick to a traditional bruschetta. Entree- Ribeye, Med-rare. Wow, 6/5 stars. I'm a steak snob and rarely order a steak from a restaurant these days as I hate paying for disappointmen
