    We had a great experience. A beautiful day, we got a table outside and the hostess made the pro move of seating us away from a boisterous table. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient with just the right amount of attention. My martini was ice cold but without ice chips — spot on. My wife loved her barbecued shrimp and the red fish special. I had the fried chicken livers and they are not to be missed. The veal chop Milanese was fantastic — as good as the Saloon or La Famiglia. And capping things off was the playlist consisting of American standards by the likes of Tony Bennett, Frank, Ella, Nat King Cole… This is a great spot.
