A pretty and friendly atmosphere and ambitious food that unfortunately isn't special.
Was there on a Monday for lunch. One waitress but she did a great job despite several groups of walk-ins at the same time. Found the crab cakes excellent (one of my restaurant test foods). Menu had lots to choose from. Portions appropriate for price. Flavors and presentation very good.
Food was good, but pasta prices were high for this area.
Delicious and much better than expected. Pleasant surprise.
