Description

Established in 1991, this neighborhood venue complements its main dining room with a back room for group events. The kitchen's focus extends to detailed entrees like pollo toscano served with spinach risotto and a balsamic glaze, and a classic shrimp scampi sautéed in garlic, white wine, and lemon. Expect a hands-on approach to service, from accommodating staff to a bartender ready to guide your dinner order.
