    I LOVED the restaurant. I recommend getting the $22 lunch special. That way you can share with every one.

    Get the sautéed mushrooms. Ask for Mike when you're at the bar. Sometimes he comes out to schmooze.

    Small plates, share, tapas style. Food over-hyped. Fried squash blossoms were good and Scallops too sweet with the yogurt dill sauce.
