"I love this little neighborhood restaurant and keep bringing friends and family back because the food is good although inconsistent and service is perfect. The servers all pay close attention to diners, preferences, and even food timing. They are very good. Memorable meals have been chicken saltinbocca, veal marsala some of the best I've had anywhere, halibut and the seafood risotto frutta di mare. The inside of the restaurant is clean and simple but pleasant. The outside offers a cute patio, but the traffic is really too much to enjoy a quiet relaxing dinner. Two things that could easily make this restaurant great instead of just good, is: put cocktails in proper glasses. Martinis are offered in small stemless glasses that offer nothing special when a martini is a special cocktail deserving of a little special treatment. My guest was served a cocktail typically served in a double rocks glass in a tiny lowball glass which meant frequent refills and low value. the owner's personality is very offputting and unpleasant. Examples: when I ask for a certain kind of table, the owner challenges me upon arrival in front of my guests, even after I point out that I made a request at the time of reservation. He especially does not like seating a couple at a even if the restaurant is not full and the request is made in advance.....or b if you make a comment on the food which I may reveal to the server when she sees uneaten food upon removing my plate, the owner challenges the diner as to why the food is prepared a certain way, or that the diner should have said something sooner so he could replace it oftentimes unnecessary and throws the other diners offpace, and c he sits too close to the patio tables and smokes so that smoke drifts over towards the diners. Many of my guests have commented about how unpleasant he is, how unfriendly and what a difference it is from his staff who are excellent. But I'll be going back, as the food is good"
