I love this place. Though the sushi is good, i love this lace for all the food besides sushi that is available to you.
You can taste many things, like them and go again or don't like them, leave the plate and the server will take it away, quite quickly.
Salads, tempura of all vegetable, fish and chicken and beef. Teriyaki or other sauces.
Than the giosa and other fried small thing to bite on, three or four soups and my favorite are shell fish, the oysters. All these over dinner.
I think that lunch time no oysters.
Price in the evening is $33.95

Cute patio and very nice surrounding. I've been there before and wanted to take my husband. The menu is great and can satisfy many tastes. Nice wine list. We have problem with couple of bottles (which waiter confirmed that they are corked) which they gladly changed it. Staff is just fantastic and helpful. Enjoyed very much our night out. But I think the chef is a bit heavy handed on salt. Everything was salty for average person. I like salty food but everything we ordered was border line salty. The quality and variety is great just a bit on salty side.

This is an awesome place. The restaurant had a fire several years ago and moved to a new location. The owners are hard working, friendly and service and food are excellent. The place is a gem. Love having unique place for breakfast. Food is excellent and servings very generous.

Not sure why but management changed look of bar. Covered up shelves and mirrors. Added to many TVs. Menu is still the same! Still great food. Hopefully management is receptive to feedback

Very open and spacious with lots of group seating, so large groups are easily accommodated. A very extensive beer menu. Lots of appetizers and meals to choose from. Had a hot pretzel and a Caesar salad. One person I was with ordered the cheese platter and it was extensive and I wished I had ordered it. Wasn't real hungry, but wanted to try some things. Both were very good and even had anchovies on the salad. Never had them before, but were good and weren't fishy. had a locally brewed ale that was really good. Reasonable prices and good selection and very festive environment.

Enjoyed a very nice evening with my son. He had recommended this spot as he resides nearby. Food & service was excellent. Sukiyaki was authentic; real ingredients, not westernized vegetables. Tofu, soba noodles, bamboo shoots, ?. Loved it, along with everything else.

Years ago Paul was humble and happy to provide the best meal possible. Fast forward, and there is better decor and a better menu, However, I miss the Italian food. I had lunch with a family member and We both had scallop lunches. My scallops were undercooked and the other dish of scollops was overcooked. Clearly, consistency is an issue. This happened at the same lunch. Same dish. What happened?!?! I stopped going there years ago when the owners wife was gossiping fairly loud regarding other patrons. Waited years to return and sadly was not impressed. I’d give one less star but the decor was nice. Apprehensive to go for dinner as there are too many places in the area where a better meal is almost guaranteed.

Fish and chips are so good.Not a french fry fan but really like them here. Interesting and ever changing menu. The seasonal dinner salads are a plus. We have enjoyed consistently good pub food and warm, welcoming servers on many occasions. Management is present and noticeable- always checking what is coming out of the kitchen. Inside is rather dark...very nice in winter but if you're looking for a sun filled open environment during the summer months this is not the place. Varies from moderately busy to very busy with a wait. At the end of a strip mall. Plenty of parking for this reason. Try AAH at least once...

We had Ginger /Apple drink, which was good
