Came here a few days ago with my girlfriend, & we ordered the Hawaiian knuckle that was essentially a panzerotti. It was really good & we were able to split it between the two of us.

We also got a nice selection of bottled wine, which was really nice, it was the first time I've ever got an entire bottle of wine at a restaurant before so it was a treat.

We ended up getting the salad that had everything bagel seeds on top with some awesome mixture salad dressing that was just a complete home run

We also got the steak fries with a side of french fries that tasted amazing

The atmosphere was really cool. The staff was extremely friendly & absolutely helpful when we had questions.

The restaurant was clean & with the winter snowy night it just made everything even better. It was like the scene out of a movie, I really enjoyed myself here & will definitely come back again. Definitely recommended that you bring your friends & family out.

Also, the prices are very formidable no complaints & they are good portions for the price you pay.

Première expérience dans ce petit resto de quartier tout chou. Le service était rapide, la bouffe malade, les pâtes étaient fantastiques, les panzerottis étaient croustillantes à souhait & le dessert simplement wow. Le menu table d'hôte nous a remplie de bonheur. Belle découverte culinaire je le recommande fortement

This place is beautiful, the staff is fine, & the cocktails are nice. Although the cocktail I had filled only half the glass, meanwhile the ice was a mountain & kept hitting me in the nose every time I took a sip. The food is an absolute joke. I cannot for the life of me understand these reviews.
