Cozy atmosphere, meaning very small place. Think a living converted. In warmer weather there’s an out door space at the back. Still warm cozy atmosphere. If you looking for an intimate setting this is it. Its a resturant so the food. For the price point.. on the fence. Guess city Island everything more expensive. Back to the food. The Salmon was good, the shrimp and pasta.. for the price.. on the fence.

I ordered the grilled NY steak meal, having a taste for steak on my mind all day and boy oh boy, it did not disappoint. Compliments to the chef. The steak was seasoned throughout and grilled to perfection. Nice, tender, and juicy. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were seasoned and cooked well, too. I recommend this place if you’re in the area and want to enjoy a nice meal in a peaceful environment

Wonderful experience. We got there as soon as it opened, a group of 4 people and we had a great service from the people that worked at the restaurant. The food took a little while to get to us, but we ordered the main courses that require more work and details, so since everything that we choose was made at the home made at restaurant, it was super worthy. The food itself was excellent, we ordered the salmon, the meatloaf, the special of the weekend and the chicken (highly recommended!!!), everything’s cooked perfectly. The restaurant have a beautiful decoration, the space is cozy and beautiful, so you can definitely enjoy a meal with your family, friends or a date. Great experience!
