Not great for anything other than a handful of dishes. Their shrimp parm and scallops/shrimp over…read morerisotto are pretty good, but everything else is mediocre or bad. Had one of the blandest, dryest pork chops here a while ago. I just recently had a labster ravioli special as well that had undercooked pasta. Not al dente, actually just not cooked enough. Cocktails are expensive and diluted heavily. Their old fashioneds taste like slightly sweetened water. You have to mix them up a bit yourself to make it better, but they still have way too much water.

I came here over the weekend for a private party. There is a small parking lot, but there is plenty…read moreof street parking if you walk a block or 2. They also have valet which I would assume parks your car on the street as well. The place itself is cute, but it's small. The party I attended was in the interior of the location (there was another party happening outside). What I didn't like about the interior was that if anyone was dining in there for lunch/dinner, they had to walk through our party room in order to get to their seats. The staff also had to go through our room to get food/drinks to the other diners. There is also only one restroom for women, which there was always a line for. In regard to the food, the appetizers brought out were the crab and strawberry salad, the Asian ribs, and the octopus salad. This was all very good. For the entree I chose the rib eye. It was really good as well, I just wish there had been a little more seasoning, and also I requested medium but it came out more on the well side. For dessert we had the brownies with ice cream, and the Nutella wontons. This was delicious! Overall, I'd recommended this place for a small party or private dinner. But don't expect privacy.

They take their time and have conversations with you. They get to know you and engage thoughtfully. Now for the food... OMG! We can't wait until the next Wednesday. Their meals are flavorful and quite large. We always have leftovers for the next day. Lisa always takes amazing care of us and the owner, Steve, always drops in to see how things are going and if there is anything else they can do for us. Oh yeah... BOGO Wednesday is just the cherry on the top!

I also loved the restaurant whether dining casually or celebrating something special. It was really nice inside and parking on the side of the building. Now for the star of the show, everything we had for dinner was amazing. The steak special with 32 oz ribeye, spinach and truffle fries was outstanding. The meatballs appetizer were my second favorite followed by the pistachio gelato. My friends raved about their pistachio lamb chops and the lobster pasta.

After the confirmation I asked about them having the Lobster Pescatori that Owner Rob demonstrated on Instagram. He said yes and we couldn't wait to get there. The waiter who was really nice ( hence the 2 and not 1) brought the menus we said no need we will have the lobster Pescatori. To my jaw dropping surprise he said no lobster tonight. We haven't had fresh lobsters in 2 days. After that I ordered the pork chop and my wife got the gnocchi. Both dishes were a step up from uneatable. I wish I had left and went to Aunt Butchies on Arthur Kill road. Needless to say we won't return.

I ordered the Seafood boil (Wild Crab Sauce-medium spicy--head on shrimp, mussels, crawfish, snow crab legs, corn & eggs) however when I opened the bag--they gave me potatoes as well which was nice of them to add. The smell was sooo good! The sauce was amazing. Next time I'll order it a little bit more spicier. Only thing is the crawfish were super small--could be cause wasn't in season, but I'll be back to try more of the menu. If you want seafood, come here! Definitely worth a try.

This is a cute local spot, in Staten Island west Brighton area. Seems like a hidden gem because…read morethey've been open for 5 years (and I've never heard of it). Anyway the service was great we sat down and the menu has plenty of options. I have been craving wings, so wings I had (the garlic flavor) super crispy and flavorful. Then I tried the seafood ramen with chicken broth, It could've used a little more flavor but I added some eel sauce and it hit the spot. Finished with the small seafood broil (definitely shareable ) with shrimp mussels Dungeness crab noodles broccoli and an egg in the wild crab sauce--- didn't disappoint. We also tried the teas which they'll make to your sweetness preference. Psssst.... Super affordable as well. I'll see you there.

We should have figured... The dining room was mostly empty on a Thursday night. While service was…read morevery good, food was edible but mostly below average. The overly large "special" arancini was under cooked and made with starchy yellow rice! The shrimp risotto was bland and not creamy at all. The chef did not give it the time and love that risotto requires. The special of the night - Seafood fra diablo was also bland - despite a specific request to make it spicy. The highlight of the night was the tasty bruschetta. Ambiance is too much like a catering hall with big open windows onto the nearby parking lot. Parking was easy though! There are much better choices for Italian food on the island.
