I would recommend his place if you weren't too concerned about having conversation with your meal. I thought the food was really great. We went for happy hour and had the bruschetta, lettuce wraps and shrimp appetizer and all were very good. They don't have an actual happy hour menu, just discounts on drinks. All of our severs were excellent. The idea of a living room decor is cute, but we probably won't frequent much unless we sit outside (not a good idea in Arizona's summer heat). It was just too noisy inside for us. Having said that, we are In our 60's, and can remember our parents saying the same kind of thing. So the younger crowd shouldn't have any problem with it. I would say go and check it out!
