AMAZING. Request Tamo as your waitress, she is super social and knowledgeable. Makes you feel like you've know her forever! Outstanding service.The food is phenomenal. Everything is fresh. The grilled chicken with prosciutto, mozzarella and pesto sauce is or of this world. I ordered it 3 days this week.The beet salad over arugula and Gorgonzola with balsamic dressing is a great salad and I highly recommended. They give you dark & light beets. It's not a big portion. I don't recommend for 2 people.Fish sandwich out of this world as well as there gluten free pizza with spinach and tomato sauce.They don't have a large selection of food for toddlers that are picky. My niece loves cheese. Anything grilled cheese or Mac n cheese. It wasn't on the menu and Tamo had a special mac n cheese made for my 2 1/2 year old niece.James the owner is fantastic !! We were visiting from NY and my Aunts are as well but when in Rhode this is there late night spot. I liked that James remembered them. Great rapport skills :)If I lived in Rhode Island I would definitely be a regular. Again I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
