"It's a neighborhood favorite. Their food is good, but could be great. Choices are ok but could offer a wider range... such as lamb chops, as lamb is not offered at all. Let's introduce some stews, some seasonal soups and some focaccia. There's a bar there, so increase the items available. One of the problems is that I have never gotten the same item prepared the same way twice... too many inconsistencies and variables. Example... rueben sandwiches (soaked wet bread and almost no cole slaw)and mussels in wine sauce. They taste different every time. With the mussels, the garlic tastes burned and bitter. The first time I had it, before the place closed... was excellent...offered with toasted crostini... buttery, sweet. Then after it reopened, the inconsistencies began. The crostini got smaller... and sometimes, they forget to give them to you when you order them as take out. The last time I got mussels, they gave them to me in a wet shopping paper bag... as I found out when the contents spilled in the parking lot. Attention to detail seems to have been forgotten... and that's a shame. Their prices reflect great but the food reflects just good. It could be such a great place rather than just an OK place. There's room for improvement and I would love to see it improve, rather than go the other way. We still go there and also have take out but it's not with the same expectations we used to have... what a shame because it could be such a great neighborhood bistro. I'm hoping for the best so let's see what the future brings."
