Where do I start. First of all a "tradtional sangria from spain"??? and it was all white wine with citrus and it tasted like lemon juice out of the plastic lemon you get at the grocery store.

Met a girlfriend here for lunch last week. I keep going back every few months in the hope that this place will be better. Every time the food is just average.

Nothing fancy or over priced - just a very good dinner. Service was excellent - they were happy to split the salad to start and they did it in the kitchen. The entrees were fine - cod -- risotto - pizza. Interesting wine list was well priced. Easy access to Rt 128 and ample parking in the rear. more

Good addition to the Needham restaurant scene. For lunch, a little nicer than the usual. Had a tasty cuban sandwich and salad. Good meal, a little pricey for lunch, though. But overall I'd recommend it. more
