The Easter brunch was lovely. We sat upstairs with a view of the ocean. I really appreciated the omelette station&mdash;you could see them using fresh eggs and veggies. The peel-and-eat shrimp tasted so clean and fresh. A nice tradition for us.

The bar seating is comfortable and the bartenders are friendly. I enjoyed a specialty mule while waiting for my table. It was a nice, relaxed way to start the evening.

The baked clams were really good, and we enjoyed the outdoor patio for lunch. Service was fine, though it got a bit slow once the place filled up.

The chicken parm is a must-order. So tender, and the sauce has a nice depth to it. I appreciate that they always have it, even if it&#39;s not listed. The booths are comfortable, which makes for a relaxed meal.

Been searching for a solid local pizza spot. Got a plain cheese pie to test. Crust was crispy underneath but still had enough chew when you folded a slice. Sauce is simple, no sugar or herbs, just tomato. They use whole milk mozzarella, so it&#39;s properly stretchy. My family finished it in minutes. Takeout was smooth.

Shared the Salatim with warm pita and six dips. The Halloumi cheese was the star, grilled just right. Jules and Julia were super friendly and checked on us a few times. Solid spot.

Waterfront deck is the move. Sat there for lunch. Just watching the boats drift by on the river. That&#39;s it.

French onion soup and pumpkin ravioli were really good. Hope they bring back the outdoor seating this summer.

Been coming here for years. The outdoor patio is great when the weather&#39;s nice, and they&#39;re super dog-friendly. Had the fish and chips again last night. The house white they suggested was a surprisingly good match for the fried food&mdash;cut right through the richness. A solid neighborhood spot.

The lemon berry blyss french toast was the star. Fluffy, not too sweet, with that perfect crisp edge. Staff was chill. Just a really solid brunch spot.

Mike was our server and he was really nice. When there was a mix-up with our order, he sorted it out quickly and fairly. It made the whole meal feel relaxed and easy.

The vibe here is just right for a quiet dinner. I really liked the warm lighting and how the booths felt cozy and private. It&#39;s a comfortable place to unwind.

Solid neighborhood Italian spot. The BYOB policy is a nice touch, lets you pair your own wine just right. Food&rsquo;s consistently good, feels homemade.

Crab cakes were on point, and the Bloody Mary hit the spot too. What I really liked was the vibe in here - the lighting was just right, not too bright, and the booths were super comfy. Felt like a nice place to just unwind.

The breakfast was fresh and healthy, exactly what I wanted after a walk. The avocado on the toast was perfectly ripe, and the poached eggs had that nice runny yolk. A solid spot for a simple, good meal.

Love that it&#39;s BYOB! They had glasses and an ice bucket ready for our wine.

The chef&#39;s experience is clear. The pasta tasted like it was made that morning, and the gelato was creamy and fresh. The espresso had a perfect crema. You can tell everything is made from scratch.

The vegetable slice of the day is the only thing I come for. Grabbed a slice of the zucchini and mushroom today. The crust is thin and crisp, and the veggies are always fresh. It&#39;s a simple, reliable bite.

The fish tacos are fresh and a solid choice for a quick lunch. Ordered them twice this week while working nearby. Good portion for the price. Service was efficient.

Been coming here for years, and that upstairs room with the river view never gets old. Booked it again for a small get-together last week. Just a really nice, consistent spot.

The pizzas here are some of the best I&#39;ve had in years. The crust was perfectly chewy with a nice char, and the sauce had a bright, tangy flavor. The pepperoni was crispy around the edges. Really solid pie.

Decent Brazilian spot. The all-you-can-eat table service is a fun concept. My takeaway? For the price, I expected a bit more variety in the meat cuts they kept bringing around. The basics were good, just felt a little repetitive after a while.

The interior is really cozy and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed meal. I appreciate the thoughtful seating arrangements, it makes the whole experience feel effortless. The outdoor area looks lovely too, though I haven&#39;t tried it yet.

The food was delicious, especially the octopus appetizer and the porterhouse steak. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, making for a memorable dining experience.
