| - Everything here was amazing! I can't think of anything that I was unhappy with, which is why I'm giving this place 5 stars. I made a reservation for my boyfriend as a surprise birthday dinner last week. I was a little hesitant planning a birthday dinner at a new restaurant. What if we didn't like the food or the service was poor? When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a guy who I'm pretty sure is the owner. After checking out the menu and FINALLY deciding on a dish (everything sounded great), my boyfriend ordered the seafood risotto and I ordered the rigatoni primavera, a vegetarian dish. Each dish was served with a salad or soup and they also served fresh bread at every table. While we were waiting for our food we noticed that the crowd there was much older. I think we brought the median age down by about 30 years! I also noticed that the guy who seated us was visiting every table, and chatting with everyone. It seems like most of the people who were eating there were regulars, and knew all the details about this guys family. Our salads arrived, and although the portion was small the Italian dressing was delish! Next came our main dishes. My boyfriend's plate was packed full of seafood including shrimp, scallops, mussels, and clams. A bit too fishy for me, but he loved it. My dish was amazing as well, with lots of flavor and tons of vegetables, including mushrooms, zucchini, and cauliflower. In past reviews I always mention how it can be difficult to find vegetarian dishes with lots of flavor unless you are at a vegetarian restaurant. That was not the case here at all, this place delivered. The portions were big, so my boyfriend and I both ended up with some to take home. We were both disappointed in knowing we had dinner plans the following night, as we were looking forward to eating our leftovers! This restaurant was a nice change of pace from our usual loud and crowded old town restaurants. The place was nice and quiet, with some light music playing in the background. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely eat here again.
