Esther MottaDecember 8, 2011Good food. They also serve brunch. In the summer, outside is available ...afterwards head to Riverbank Park at the edge of the river.UpvoteDownvote

AlexJuly 16, 2013Subpar food and abysmal service. Not for lack of trying, the staff is sweet but inefficient and the chef is...well, subpar. Also beware of food poisoning (Tonelli's has given it to me twice).UpvoteDownvote

A nice addition to the neighborhood but a little overrated. Limited menu and it wouldn't kill them to have more staff.UpvoteDownvote
