We chose this restaurant since it was close to the Byham and an easy walk for my elderly parents. When I realized we were going, I purchased a Groupon. The seating is very limited so reservations on a Friday or Saturday night are a must. The menu is very limited with only about 5 or 6 entrees not including sandwiches and wraps that are offered. So check out the menu online to make sure you find something you like. It is very noisy due to the small seating area, the nearby bar and the brick interior. The braised short ribs were very tasty and tender. The vodka penne with chicken was good. In summary, if you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner for a special occasion, this is not the place. However, for a good meal convenient in the theatre district, Olive or Twist is a fine choice.
