Reviews

I was out harvesting oysters and happened upon this place.
You would never know it was here unless you searched Google.
A helpful tip for first timers would be to call ahead for a reservation (especially 4 or more people).
Food is made from scratch and tasted authentic.
I had shrimp Alfredo with a Cesar salad.
It was excellent! The owner was very accommodating and attentive.
She was knowledgeable about the menu.
The young man helping serve and bus tables was very courteous and even offered to box my food for me.
That's something I haven't seen from a restaurant since a visit to Ruth's Chris.
Portion sizes and quality were commensurate with price points.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience.


We had the chicken parmigiana and filet mignon over fettuccine Alfredo.
It was excellent! The prices are in line with the quality of the food.
The atmosphere was nice with the music.
The owner is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu.
5 stars for food and service.


In town for the first time and found this little gem.
Valery was warm and welcoming and made me feel as if I had arrived at her home for dinner.
The whole place was spotless and the food was excellent.
I ordered one of the evening specials which was grilled duck breast atop cavatappi “mac n cheese”.
Whoa.
Perfection.
The warm garlic bread could easily become addictive.
I struggled to keep myself from licking the foil in the serving basket.
The portions are shareable for the average appetite but there is no way I’d share mine- these leftovers are all for me! Thanks so much for such a lovely and memorable evening.
