Small business, cosy but very clean and well kept. It has an intimate feel, and the aromas from the food confirm you are going to enjoy your meal before you have even sat down. Staff were professional and friendly. I can reccomend the lobster ravioli with a cream sauce, the sauce wasn't too rich and the seafood was cooked just right. The pasta was not too heavy...its a beautiful dish when cooked properly like this.
