    I am a “regular” here, so confess to a bias. I think their sole is outstanding and my wife loves their pizza. A big shout-out to the waitstaff—unfailing, but unobtrusively, delivering a great experience. We sit outdoors because of a pet dog. It’s pet friendly and very comfortable under a metal canopy with removable windows. Chilly days are no problem with lots of heaters.

    Ordered Branzino and it was served in pieces. Never a good sign. Spinach was over-cooked and dry. About all I can say is the wine was good. Took too much time for the entrees to come to us. Probably won't be back
