    Walked in about 6:05 and informed the host we were there for 6:15 reservation and they seated us promptly. Immediately after the server greeted us and brought us out water and bread. About ten minutes later they returned to ask about drinks and appetizers. We ordered the calamari and clam chowder as well as some drinks. Calamari was nice and crunchy and the chowder was so good. I ended up ordering the chicken parm for an entree and my date ordered the fish n chips and they both were amazing! Cooked to perfection and the service was great. Noise was somewhat loud but that’s expected for a busy Saturday night! Was able to get a spot across the street on that side street. All in all a 10/10 experience highly recommended.
