Food: Homely cuisine meets limited choices

The Meatball Ball Skillet resonates with a saucy comfort, the Margherita Pizza turns heads with its perfect balance of fresh flavors, while the Drunken Pizza stands up tall amongst customer recommendations. Excusing the lack of creativity and variety instigated by a limited menu, the dishes offer genuine value. However, the unripe tomatoes are a smear on the establishment's depiction of freshness.

  • Great Value

    Exceptional value for food in the area, especially during happy hours.

  • Okay Variety

    Simple menu and good food, but lacking unique dining experiences.

  • Not Creative

    Limited menu raised concerns over creativity and variety.

Vibe: Buzzing but not very personal

The positive vibes generated by the superbly designed interior and agile live music are irrefutable, set against the backdrop of the scenic waterfront views. Yet, the bustling, unromantic atmosphere and generic selection of drinks puts a damper on the date-night expectations and questions the overall distinctness of the restaurant.

  • Great To Entertain

    Live music consistently creates an upbeat, lively, and fun atmosphere.

  • Okay Drinks

    Some reviews note average selection, balancing quality and price.

  • Negative Buzz

    Lacks uniqueness, not the most exciting or trendy dining experience.

Perks: Contrasting conveniences

While the restaurant readily accommodates large groups within its spacious bar, the balance swings with the lack of patio for smokers and challenging parking prospects. The decibel levels make conversation difficult, further straining the dining experience. Service reciprocates with its friendly, albeit sometimes overwhelmed staff, while the menu meets general dietary requirements without specifying.

  • Easy To Reserve

    Manager extremely kind and helpful, readily accommodating a large group.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed reviews on service pace; friendly staff but sometimes slow or overwhelmed.

  • Bad Outdoor

    No patio for smokers; inconvenience of stepping outside noted.
