    Awesome place. Highly recommended! The decor is charming, the food is great, and the service is some of the best I've had in recent memory. I guarantee the owner will charm you to pieces!

    A bit overpriced and underwhelming but solid food and you can get it delivered. Lamb ossobuco and salmon are good options.

    I ordered the filet before reading the previous tip. The filet is totally not filet. It's extremely tough and not very appetizing. I couldn't finish it. The crab cakes were fantastic though.

    Cesar Salad contains pepper and pizza too, but no advise in menu. Olive oil and balsamic winegar is served with warm bred, but its all tasteless stuff.
