You can tell the chef is preparing each dish individually by the way that it tastes. It's a favorite go to for me for a social lunch. It invites quality time and conversation. My friends and I stayed more than 3 hours chatting and not once were we met with hostility. A big plus in my book!

Yooooooooooooooooo! I had NEVER heard of this place before, but my family ended up coming here…read moreafter my uncle's funeral, and honestly, what a great find! We were specifically looking for somewhere with a great price, good food, and a private room where our family could sit together and spend some time after the service. This place checked all the boxes! The Pollo Al Limone was easily one of my favorites. It's chicken breast with capers, shallots, and a lemon sauce, and the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The lemon sauce had that perfect balance of tanginess without overpowering the chicken, and the capers added a nice little salty kick. Definitely a dish I'd order again. The Tortellini Di Ricotta E Spinaci Alla Panna was another favorite at the table. The tortellini was filled with ricotta cheese and paired with mushrooms, spinach, and a creamy sauce. Super comforting and rich without being too heavy, and the combination of the mushrooms and spinach worked really well with the cream sauce. This was one of those dishes where everyone kept taking "just one more bite." We also tried the Rigatoni Bolognese, which came with rigatoni and a meat sauce. The only thing I noticed was that there weren't any protein in the dish. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just something worth mentioning. The service was honestly amazing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which made a big difference considering we were there with a large family after a funeral. The staff made us feel comfortable and never rushed us, and the private room was a HUGE plus for our group. The restrooms were also clean, which is always something I pay attention to when reviewing a restaurant. As far as the ambiance goes, the private room itself was pretty simple--there wasn't really any music or entertainment playing--but honestly, that worked perfectly for our situation. We were able to sit together, talk, laugh, reminisce, and spend time with each other without having to compete with loud music or a crowded dining room. We basically set the tone ourselves. Overall, I'm really glad my family discovered this place. What started as a restaurant we chose because of the private room and reasonable pricing turned into a surprisingly great meal with some really delicious dishes. The Pollo Al Limone and Tortellini were definitely the standouts for me, and the friendly service made the entire experience even better. Definitely a place I'd consider coming back to, especially for a family gathering or special occasion where having a private space is important. Sometimes the best restaurant discoveries are the ones you never even knew existed!

Menu was varied and interesting with some specialties, sandwiches, and salmon. Prices were fair for these times. I had the strawberry goat cheese salad and the baked dinner rolls with sweet butter. Enjoyed it all. My husband had the burger with fries. He said both were very good. I'd like to try the bacon crusted salmon or the gnocchi next time. We did not have dessert. Service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. This is a tiny gem in Uptown. They've been open about a year. I hope people will discover and enjoy it like we did. I think a small candle on each table would add an inviting element to go along with the pretty fresh flower centerpieces. This place can also comfortable accommodate groups.

But I've learned that if I order my steaks rare or even blue rare at a place not known for their steaks, it comes out to the desired medium rare I wanted all along. Such was the case tonight. I asked for rare but it came out closer to medium rare--maybe even dipping into medium. No big whoop. The baseball steak was still juicy and delicious. The fries were still great shoestring. And I can live with a chimichurri sauce instead of the preferable hollandaise or bearnaise these usually come with. I just wish I could actually ask for a medium rare and get medium at a food joint other than where it costs me $60 or $70 a cut. The service was good. She was pleasant and quick on her feet. The ambience was good. It was a quaint space and had a lot of charm. I can't say it was too full but I attribute that more to the day being full of sporting events like the World Cup and some silly NBA thing than an actually critique of the restaurant. Subsequently, I found this a good place for dinner but not superb and I found myself wondering when the next like fate might bring me here.

I kid you not every time we come here we get the same things plus more (sometimes). I always get the off the grill plate. My choice of fish is always Basa. For the seasoning you can get lemon pepper or Cajun. And it automatically comes with salad and rice with butter and choice of dressing. Oh and they include a few triangles of pita bread. The service is always amazing. They do get sometimes busy and it's sometimes a 1 woman show taking the orders and giving the orders but she's a doll! There's probably at least 3 TVs playing sports.

The menu has a good variety of food and drinks, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with the food. It felt like it was missing something. I tried adding lemon, their house sauces, and hot sauce, but the fish and calamari still tasted pretty bland. I ordered the fish tacos and the fried calamari strips, and neither had much flavor. The portions were also on the smaller side, so I didn't feel like the price matched the amount or quality of the food. I'd have to give it a 6/10 at best.

This is a lounge, where you can linger and drink, but it looks more like a small restaurant to be. The bartender was quite friendly. We ordered the nachos, Margherita pizza and shrimp tacos. The bartender told us we were going to be full for days. The nachos was delicious. It uses a different type of cheese that was not the conventional yellow cheese, pepper jack. Because of this, i wanted to try it. It was something new and was shareable in size. It is a good choice with a group. The shrimp tacos were also good. Based on the previous reviews here, it is a must try as the flavor was impressive. The pizza was fair. It didn't blow me away and is above your regular fast food take out pizza. It is pretty decent in size to take room in your gut with the alcohol, but don't expect it to blow you away with flavors. Overall, nice hang out spot, great staff, and food pretty good if you're going to share. Give this spot a shot.

Walking in immediately brought back good memories. The decor is warm, cozy, and wonderfully homey, the kind of place that makes you want to sit back and relax. I ordered my longtime favorite, the meat loaf, and it was every bit as delicious as I remembered: hearty, flavorful, and true comfort food done right. You can tell they've kept the quality and consistency over the years. The service was also outstanding, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. So glad we rediscovered this place. It's comforting to know some restaurants still keep their charm, quality, and hospitality intact after all these years. Definitely a 5-star experience for me.
