God, reading the previous, non-agreeing-with-me reviews, the non-agreeing-with-me reviewers are so off base! (as non-agreeing reviewers are so apt to be)
I love this place and have missed it so since I've moved away. It is the neighborhood restaurant everyone should have. No, I don't think it is the place to see and be seen, to drink cosmos (who drinks f-ing cosmos?!!) or to be a douchebag. It's the place to drink one more bottle of wine than you probably should. It worked as our Friday night date night place or our Wednesday night don't-feel-like-cooking place and we were always proud to bring our friends. We were never disappointed. Never. Unpretentious staff. Unpretentious atmosphere. Great food. Such such great food. Great specials. Always something to pique your interest, even if you go all the time.
Make this your place. You will never regret it.
