the scallops were excellent - perfectly cooked, moist and tender, with just enough seasoning. The sweet corn and crunchy sugar peas were the perfect pairing. A little pricey, but worth it.

These are not Mediterranean olives. Don't know what kind they are, but they are good and meaty.
The salad was of fresh, high-quality lettuce and tasty. I would have liked way more anchovy than the sliver I got. I'm not a fan of bread crumbs on salad and would have preferred some good quality shaved cheese and freshly made garlic croutons.
For these reasons, I would not order the salad again.

consistent, delicious and quality. The fusilli and prime NY medallion were fresh and taste incredible (as always)! I love local and look forward to ordering again!

It's my neighborhood hangout when I want a delicious and expertly prepared meal just around the corner. Sometimes it's just the pizza or I treat myself to the Hanger Steak. Reputable, consistent and tasty.

Tiny teaspoon-sized baby artichoke hearts were soggy. Crudely sliced cheese was hard on the outside as if it had been sitting out too long. Ugly and impossible to serve guests. Didn't use anything in this $70 delivery!
