I had one of the best meals out that I think I’ve ever had here the other night. The special was salmon pasta and it was phenomenal. The gluten free pasta was good, and our cocktails were great.

The place was off the beaten path. Service was very good they explain some of the items which we inquired it. Place was sort of soft wasn’t quite as loud as other places. The appetizers calamari was grilled with tomatoes spinach white beans and a wonderful source with it the other appetizer was shrimp on a skewer and that was terrific. Two main courses one was pork thin sliced with a very nice source with that. And the penny with the Regatta the sausage and the source was just delightful all in all it was a wonderful experience I recommend it.
