Chris Newton: The mussels and the rabbit cacciatore are amazing!
Michael W: Ask for the Salty Egg Pizza any time. It is a brunch menu favorite, but they are happy to bake one for you at lunch or dinner too!
Rachel Berg: Joey, the bartender, is awesome.
Jasmin: Amazing mussels, brussel sprouts, the best cider I've ever had. Oyster happy hour every day! Awesome music & decor. Outdoor seating (w heaters) Reminds me of my favorite oyster bar in Haight-Ashbury.
Cherise Guarino: Mushroom toast...off the chain!
Ayana G: Try the lobster tostada, weed toast or the oysters... you won’t be disappointed! 😋

The News & Observer: Recommended: spicy jerk shrimp, plump sauteed mussels, grilled triggerfish with roasted pepper salsa, and pan-seared chili parmesan chicken. Read more.
Ellen: Celebrated my 21st birthday here with my carnivore of a boyfriend. There are so many options for veggie lovers and meat lovers. Live music is a plus as well :)
Susannah Brinkley: For brunch, try the huevos rancheros for a colorful and flavorful meal.
Rebecca Dixon: Great foodie menu. Don't miss the mussels. Check out drink menu too.
Emilie Moseley: Half off wine Wednesdays! The mac and cheese = amazeballs. Also a fan of the Bahn Mi, mussels, and cheese/charcuterie boards.
Julia Thompson: Small, but very good local draft selection. Great neighborhood location. Will be one of my new haunts, for sure!

Heidi: The cappuccino is just simply delicious and the music, Italian opera, is just relaxing. The service is just amazing too along with the food.
Paul McRae: I had the tortellini Capri and it was delicious. My wife had the seafood ravioli and loved it.
Joshua Zupan: If you haven't tried it you really should. Buried in a strip mall doesn't mean it's not a wonderful little date night spot.

French Restaurant · 17 tips and reviews
Ross Rojek: I've had lots of good meals, but this is one of the best. Pricey, but good. Good wine list, mostly French.
Lizzie McLaughlin: One of the best dining experiences of my life! Don't let the outside fool you (it's in a strip mall)... as soon as you walk through the door you are transported to fine dining heaven.
Francela M: Delicioso. Excelent food, excelent service, excelent ambiance.
Kevin: I love this place! It's more expensive at dinner but totally worth it! The specialty rolls are great. Careful not to order more than you can eat though, they will charge you for it.
Jordan Graham: Great Buffet! Love that you can make your own rolls!
Tamara: All you can eat menu for $19.95 Tu-Th & $23.95 F-Su. Closed M. You really can't go wrong here!! If you are a newbie to sushi, this is a great place to try lots of stuff & figure out what you like!
