We had dinner here on vacation. I really loved the fact that they gave us a complimentary smoked fish dip with crackers which was delicious. They had gluten free options. The chicken lettuce wrap appetizer, the salmon & the breaded cod aa well as the sushi were flavorful & delicious. The lavender lemonade was to die for.

This place is unreal! I was craving a good gluten free sandwich and this place popped up as I was at Fort Phoenix for the day. The smell when You walk in is incredible and so mouth watering. I got a simple gluten free grilled cheese and tomato and it was absolute perfection. The gf bread was buttery and crispy and the cheese was the perfect amount of gooey and flavorful They have so many fun sandwich combos and I am so excited to come back!

Went for Valentine's dinner. I ordered the Prosciutto wrapped Cod. Upon a brilliant recommendation by our wonderful waitress, Leigha Fabian, I substituted the gnocchi for a gluten-free option, sautéed kale and it was amazing. Prosciutto provided the right amount of salt and flavor. Hubby ordered the Bolognese and said is was fabulous. Had to order Affogato with espresso for dessert and I think that is now my most favorite dessert! Excellent meal only second to a fabulous, knowledgeable, and attentive waitress, Leigha. Thanks for a fabulous meal and experience!

I love it here! The sushi is amazing. All you can eat sushi for $30 per person is an awesome deal. The $30 cost includes any appetizers (such as French fries, edamame, etc) and dessert (they have green tea and red bean ice cream) which is great. I have been here multiple times with my boyfriend, who has celiac disease. The staff are super accommodating to his food allergy and ensure that the sushi we order is made gluten free. We frequently order the Hawaiian roll, which is pineapple, imitation crab meat and cream cheese, one of my personal favorites. It typically comes fried but we ask for it not to be fried (and it’s very delicious like that- I prefer it not fried anyway). I highly recommend this place to my family and friends. I hope to be able to visit again soon!

5 stars all around for our visit today. We came for lunch during a weekday. They place was busy but not too crazy given the day. Food was fresh and flavorful. Staff was super friendly (Melissa served us!). I have a gluten allergy and was able to find plenty of options. Prices are reasonable for the quality and the atmosphere. I had the steak tips. We’ll be back!

Wowwwwww! This restaurant is amazing. From the ambiance, staff, delicious food & cocktails, I couldn’t recommend it enough! I’ve got Celiac and they had so many great options it was hard to choose from. My wife and I sat at the bar. Mike and Nikkos were attentive, super friendly making for great conversation. We had the Margarita Italiano and the Pinky Ring. For food, we started off with Clams Oreganata and Whipped Ricotta (so addictive) followed by the Grilled Swordfish and Chicken Parmesan. Kudos to the Chef and kitchen staff. Fresh seafood and everything cooked spot on. Can’t wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. Another jewel in the downtown New Bedford area!
