"During my solo visits, I sat at the bar and felt the piercing gazes of both staff and regulars, as if I were intruding on their space by choosing an open seat. Service was sluggish, and in some instances, I didn't receive any service at all. The food, when it arrived, was standard pub fare. Despite an effort to offer a diverse menu, the execution fell short. For example, the roasted or deep-fried Brussels sprouts were nearly raw and hard, with only a bit of crispiness on the outside. The branzino was overcooked and dry.
When I dined with my wife, the service was exceedingly slow in a restaurant that was only half full during the week. It seemed the staff and owner preferred to chat among themselves rather than attend to the customers. I would have hoped the owner would step in to assist in expediting food orders.
Although I must commend their grilled octopus, which was quite good, the lobster ravioli left much to be desired. I truly wanted to leave a positive review, but it didn't turn out that way. I genuinely hope they make some improvements for the betterment of our community.
