I've been in customer service for 39 years. Never written a bad review of somebody because I understand what it's like, however I am 58 years old, have been going out since I was 18. I have never felt so unwelcome at a bar in my life. Read some other reviews of the bartender this is what happens when nepotism takes place and someone doesn't really want to do what they're doing.He would have had to pay a little more attention to even reach the bar of being rude. The food was average the atmosphere, eh.Will never go back, not only that will make sure people I know don't waste their time or moneyAt first I wondered why the bar was empty in the height of season at dinner time, now I know!Hire a friendly bartender who gets what it takes to get repeat business.

Quite a nice surprise, we stopped in for dinner and most everything surpassed our expectations. It's not the most impressive dining room, but that's the only negative I can give. First the drinks came and they were enormous from the mixed drinks to the wine pours, delicious as well! Next we ordered a variety from seafood, pork chops, and Chicken Parm... each one was enough for four meals and they were as good or better than any Italian restaurants I've been to in the area. Seafood was extremely fresh and after eating to capacity, it still went home in a FULL half sheet pan!! Pork chop was equally gigantic and both tender and juicy with great flavor. the chicken parm was two large (as big as the plate) cutlets that were perfectly cooked and served with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. We were never rushed and enjoyed everything. This will definitely be a favorite for when we have a big appetite and the urge for some NJ/NY style Italian feast. The price was more than reasonable, considering the number of meals we will eventually get from the dinner! Give it a try...

Large industrial interior nicely done. Generous wine pours. Salad, warm rolls came with seasoned butter and roasted red peppers. Nice touch. However, my guest had to wait to get her place setting.Veal and Chicken Francese, Veal Parm were tender but rather bland. Served with spaghetti.. no pasta choice was offered. Strange. We were never offered dessert.After reading the Hudson Valley NY connection, we must admit disappointment.

Nice atmosphere. Huge bar. Nice happy hour menu. I can't elaborate on the food though because once we got our very generous cocktails, the server never came back to take our order despite many attempts to flag them down. One hour after being served drinks and unable to get a server, we left. No apologies were made. Too bad because others at the bar raved about their previous experiences. Food looked delicious. Probably wouldn't recommend.

A delicious meal of broiled seafood. No one ever broils. Can't wait to go back.

I'm really bummed at the food I picked up tonight. I'm a single person who treats themself once a month to a great dinner and the food was mediocre. I love chicken francois and it had no flavor, no butter with the rolls, and I got the wrong dressing. Spending $45 on dinner for 1 person is an extravagance for me and this was so disappointing ?

If you're looking for fancy ambiance, keep on looking. But, if you want some really good food then this is the place to go. Excellent food and I was even able to get a Manhattan cocktail that was also excellent.

Great, authentic Italian food. Very generous portions and pour. Friendly service. What this place may lack in ambiance it more than makes up for with the quality of their food. Love this place.

Sara Speen

Well versed in Italian food, we were pleasantly surprised, the sauces were amazing, pasta was perfect texture and the veal and chicken parm were the best we've had outside of home. Vinegarette and creamy Italian dressings were spot on.
