The takeout process was super easy and convenient. It took less than 10 minutes to come out, which made it perfect for my lunch break. The people who worked there were also super kind and helpful host, bartender, and takeout worker!

I found the restaurant side very attractive and the food was very good. I didnt go to the bar. The waitress Diane was awesome. Great place for a large group that needs reservations. Menu has a lot of seafood, salads, and a great spinach lazanga. Will be back again.
