Set in an historic building is this fine continental restaurant.  Built in 1862 as a bank, it later became a printing company, and finally in 1976, a restaurant.  It still possesses all the charm and character of its past.The bar and lounge area is a comfortable place to enjoy a creative martini and live music.  As you enter the main dining room there’s a display of homemade delights: focaccia, bruschetta and tempting desserts.


Owners Dennis Liberatos and his wife Jeannie manage the restaurant which is decorated with unusual antiques and whimsical treasures they have collected over the years.  The expert kitchen staff specializes in seafood and seasonal Continental dishes.  Their varied menu is complemented by an extensive list of daily specials including antipasto: a large serving of assorted meats, cheeses and vegetables; grouper, sauteed with fresh chopped tomatoes, chives and a touch of cream; and delicate trout florentine over spinach.  The wine list is international and reasonably priced with many selections available by the glass.  Decadent chocolate mousse or tart key lime pie are two favorites that will  complete your gourmet dining experience.


Everything about this inviting and friendly restaurant will delight you, from the unique ambiance, to the excellent food and attentive service, to the live music and dancing (in the upbeat bar room).
