Always good food and service (if a little too quick) - the unpleasent discovery came when - after years as a regular - they charged me 8.50$ for a double expresso - tax and tip - make it 10 bucks. This is extortionate and even the staff agreed it was too much. Duty manager said "too bad", Chef said "nothing... more

One visit was plenty for this local. I live nearby and like seafood, but found the food, service and everything else about this restaurant at best average. Plus, it's very noisy. more
