Matt, the owner, is a personable and knowledgeable individual who runs a beautiful establishment that offers a unique blend of old world culture and language. The server, Brandon, is respectful and efficient, making the experience enjoyable. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including lobster bisque, Caesar salad, steak tip sandwich, shrimp cocktail appetizer, and chocolate crusted ice cream. The bathrooms and kitchen are spotless, and the decor is eclectic, reminiscent of Italy, Spain, Greece, or Armenia. Some patrons may be clueless about the style, but the establishment is an Iconoclastic destination that would make a habit or tradition. The only downside is the lack of a nice cot for napping after a delicious meal. Overall, this establishment is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the rich history and culture of the old world.

Really wanted to like it. Food was so-so. Med-Rare steak was medium-well and cold. Nothing had much flavor except salty.Staff was hard to find and spent half our visit looking for wait staff. I assume they're under staffed. Have been there in the past and it wasn't like this. I'll try again in a few months.

They seemed to be understaffed but didn’t make our experience feel that way. Friendly, efficient and a fair price. Will definitely go back.

I’m from out of town and we had dinner here tonight. Food and service was excellent. They have the best Sangria I have ever had while at a restaurant. I haven’t had French Onion soup in years! The broth was so yummy. Salmon was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the chocolate cake, carrot cake and crème brûlée.

We have a Maltese puppy so I called ahead to make sure they were dog friendly. Matt was amazing and very hospitable to our puppy by providing boiled chicken and rice for her to nibble on. We will be back!

Went there for a date night! Service was great! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and took great care of my husbands allergie's. But the food was lackluster at best. We had the medallions, and they reminded me of more of a skirt steak, and with them not being evenly cut, it was not medium all the way around. The seasoning and flavors of the steak were there, but the potatoes and vegetables were super bland. The dessert we had, the chocolate cake, looked great! But was super dry. Overall the service was great, but can be improved.

Ordered Lamb Rack and the food was disappointing, the vegetables tasted like the vegetables you could get from a hospital cafeteria, too bland no taste, lamb it self was dry and the overall food quality is very poor.

5+5?Matt, the owner, what a personable guy. Beautiful establishment! Really knowledgeable about the old world ways, culture and language. Brandon was our server, and he was extremely respectful and efficient. A good man, hard worker and deserves to be tipped well.My wife had the lobster bisque, (the best ever) and The Caesar salad. I had the steak tip sandwich and the shrimp cocktail appetizer. (Perfecto) And my wife ordered the chocolate crusted ice cream for dessert. A Modelo beer in the bottle, on the house no less, "TY" awesome place. And besides all of the interesting accoutrements in this establishment, the bathrooms were spotless! And everyone knows if the bathrooms are spotless so is the kitchen!The decor is eclectic old world. This is something that you might see in Italy, Spain, Greece or Armenia, very between World wars decorum. It seems some folks that have stopped there are clueless as to the style that they witness, so sad.This establishment is an Iconoclastic destination, one that you would want to make a habit, or, better yet, a tradition! This is the real deal! ???The only thing they didn't have in this extremely cozy relaxing and intimate establishment was a nice cot I could take a nap in after that huge delicious meal, lol!Vegetarian options: YesKid-friendliness: Depends, ? I wouldn't have a problem with it.Parking: EZ in & outWheelchair accessibility: YesDietary restrictions: Ask And they will accommodate

My friend and I come here for the escargot it's fabulous served with delicious bread, 3 come to a order but you can order more if you like, we love the atmosphere, very cozy and reminiscent of the 80's -90's types of restaurants, the service has always been excellent.
