Awesome service, great food and the value is unbeatable. No bar food here, fresh made to order items. The entire menu is based on flavored balsamic vinegars. They are willing to change things up for you and make great recommendations, so if your not a balsamic fan don’t be afraid, just tell them and they will make you great food. We had the brochetta, greek flat bread, margarita pizza, pork quesadilla. Great wine and beer selection. Don’t forget desert. Stealing a line from another review, It is slower paced, but relax and enjoy. We will be back.

We just ate dinner here for the first time. It was amazing! We definitely will be back soon. We had the bruschetta and it was the best we’ve ever had. We also had the crab cake special — unbelievably good with jumbo lump crab and almost as great as Oceannaire and for a great price, along with broccoli with an incredible balsamic vinegar and olive oil drizzle. We saw the charcuterie board delivered to a few tables and definitely want to try that next time. My husband was impressed that he was able to get a 750 of a Surly special release beer — Brett Mikkels. I had a great wine flight. Nice ambiance. Expect a slower pace, but relax and enjoy it!

If you have never been may I suggest you go as soon as possible. This place is well designed, with great ambiance and good food. The staff was extremely inviting and accommodating. We came at lunch time after a dentist appointment with the kids and were seating very quickly. They had a good selection for kids to order including grilled cheese, flat bread pizza etc. As far as my wife and I went we ordered the Cuban and The Brie panini. They were a hit. We also ordered the brochetta which in my opinion was the best I’ve ever had. They serve beer and wine and also had a great charcuterie plate filled with wonderful cheese and meats. Definitely don’t miss this place!

This bistro is needed in a town full of chain restaurants!!! I went with my Mama on a Sunday afternoon and the food was just our style! I would order everything on the menu! They have great wines and ciders and local craft beers too! The menu features salads, Panini’s, olive/bread/cheese/meat boards, flat breads, soups, desserts etc. The prices are VERY reasonable for the quality and portions. We had a hard time deciding what to order! We started with the Grilled Veggie Flat Bread. The flavor of the pepper cream sauce and juniper berry balsamic/Basil EVOO with cheese and veggies was heavenly. My mom likes soup so she ordered the vegetable beef soup to which they added a spicy olive oil that she loved! She makes an awesome soup herself(did I mention we both are professional cooks?!). I love Panini’s so finally decided on the Turkey Panini on an amazing craisin bread with artichoke, havarti cheese, arugula, and Fig Balsamic/Basil EVOO and I substituted caprese salad(YUM) instead of chips. That Panini was the best sandwich i have had in a loooooong time! Our server was the owner herself and she was very sweet. The food does take time, but very well worth your patience! I will be bringing my husband here and others! I am new to the neighborhood and in walking distance so this place will be a frequent treat!
