We are open for dinner at four o’clock seven nights a week, June through October, and Wednesdays-Saturdays in the off-season. They have an early bird special Sunday through Thursday 4-6pm which is 30% of of regular menu prices.

Read the reviews picked it anyway we were not disappointed. The server took 10 minutes to acknowledge our presence but was pleasant and efficient subsequently. Kids had a great pizza, i had gnocci which was really rather good, she had lobster ravioli which was slightly hard (left after preparation and before cooking so I’m told) although the lobster part was apparently good. Bottle of chianti was good, big mark up though.
Oh, the lemoncello cocktail…ugh avoid.
It’s a good enough bet for the pasta and pizza, if that’s what you’re after.

We spent our last night at the Cape here for dinner with the family. First time here – couldn’t even find it on Yelp!

Pros were ambiance, not too loud but not dead, normal portions, friendly and pretty fast service. We had eight people and they gave us a nice table under the big tower.

Cons were the kids menu – kudos for some pasta variations but the mac & cheese was from a box, chicken fingers looked defrosted. It’s a mark of a good restaurant to take the kids menu seriously.

Wine list was OK, not great. Server didn’t really have any knowledge to share. No dessert wines, ports, etc.

Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. Decent place but there’s an opportunity to kick it up a notch, IMO.
