Honestly, I'm floored by the reviews for this restaurant. We dined there for lunch today and all the food was just average - with the exception of the shrimp pasta which was straight up bad. The shrimp, of which there were four, were over cooked and the pasta was bland - to charge $45 for it was obscene. We also had both types of grilled cheese and the calamari for appetizers and the seafood orzo and the mussels entrees. They were all just average, certainly not worth the exorbitant prices. Maybe lunch is not the time to go to this restaurant. We ordered one dessert and received a bunch more on the house, perhaps because the $45 shrimp pasta went back to the kitchen basically uneaten. They were all delicious but not why we came to the restaurant. The room is somewhat unremarkable which I anticipated from photos but I thought the food would compensate for the lack of atmosphere - sadly not.

Everything was perfect only a street noise makes an environment not so good, as to hard to hear guests at the same table. Probably outdoor dining booth can be improved, at the moment like a camp. A summer is approaching, COVID is still relevant thus strongly suggested to invest in a nice glass booths.
