I've walked past this restaurant numerous times on my way to the supermarket and something about its quaintness drew me to want to try it out sometime. Other reviews on this tiny spot were excellent as well, so I figured, why not? Don't rely on the online menu, as it's not up to date. I had the tasting menu, starting with an eggplant ricotta cheese combo that had a nice texture with the fried breaded eggplant and semi-smooth ricotta spread; this was the best part of the meal. My entree, the Atlantic cod, was very tender, though the accompanying mashed potatoes were very ho-hum and gravy a bit too strong. The waitress raved about their homemade bread pudding, but I found it to be way too sweet, drowning in bowl of caramel sauce. The entire meal as a whole was just okay taste-wise, and when the bill came, there was a 20% tip automatically tacked on post-tax, without any notice on the menu beforehand, or when I made the reservation. I don't understand the great reviews on this place. Okay food at a premium.
