Megan HessFebruary 5, 2012The warm salted caramel doughnut is to die for. Came highly recommended by our waiter, too.
Fra diavlo. Extra spicy. Add calamari. ...and you might as well ask for more bread.
Kristen PeiranoDecember 21, 2014Inconsistent.... A ton of shells in my meal and the sauce not nearly as good as my precious visits. Also they pour the smallest glasses of wine
Emilie FMarch 25, 2014Good but Classic mussels/Truffle fries too pricey:for 50% you'll have the same not so far elsewhere.Chocolate donut was amazing.Caramel too salty.Service was yet impeccable.
Rob MApril 21, 2013No joke mussels! Had the southern mussels, huge portion, no bad ones, high quality food, and bar service.
Aneesh SehmbiJanuary 30, 2011Ask for the boozy donuts. They're not on the menu, but they're an alcoholic donut. Tonight's special is a White russian!
Is it weird to end up having all the broth because it's so good you can't stop?
MeliJuly 16, 2014Overrated much? Nothing spectacular in terms of taste. Had the maine, fungi, little neck, and cleopatra mussels and all were rather mediocre, esp for a place that specializes in mussels! disappointed.
Just has the San Danielle and it was rich, overflowing with flavor -- almost decadent. Dee-lixious!
Amazing wait staff. Try the Oysters as an appetizer. Sitting at the bar is great, especially since tables are often full.
Order the fluffernutter donut. The pastry chef is perfection and on top chef this fall!!!!
Harriet RushJuly 12, 2015The restaurant was too dark. I order the Fra Diavolo. It was not spicy at all, and it lacked flavor. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were greasy and soggy.
- A refuge of gastronomy -- summer, fall, winter, spring.
