    Guys, the chef here is the master. My steak was cooked just like I wanted, tasted delicious. Besides, although we asked for only one main course, they just did not stop bringing food to the table.

    Legacy restaurant; one of the best traditional Italian-American places in the city. Top notch masala, picatta & the meatballs are simply decadent. Crabcakes are mediocre, garlic bread way too greasy

    Enjoyed the pesto pasta. Decent ambiance for a casual group. Hot chocolate was yum too.

    Get the poached eggs with avo and grilled tomatoes and add a side of grilled chicken. Lighter breakfast- fresh and perfect blend of flavor

    Breakfast is amazing, burgers are massive, home-made sauces and fun decor. A solid meal for solid people.

    Avoid the roast pork. Their free bread is pretty nice though and it comes with tasty garlic oil

    The chicken parmigiana is quite good, though I don't know why the pasta has to be on a separate dish.

    The owner was unbelievably rude to us. I've never had a worse experience at a restaurant. As we left he told us "I knew I didn't like you from the moment you guys walked in."

    The worst service ever. The morning waitress is rude and with pretty bad manners. She shouted at us that she couldn't bring us the check because she was so busy!! So then it's free???
