    Delicious food - great service- but we were “outside” on the deck. Closed in, but still a bit chilly when the temperature is 28 degrees. But still a great dinner!!!

    Oysters were exceptional. Salmon was crisp, seasoned and beyond ordinary. Salmon was served with vegetable medley that made Brussel sprouts divine. Quite a cooking miracle for me. The duck was rich, simple and complex and very filling. The onion soup was a seasoned step above. The desserts were each delightful. Bottled Wine selection was very good. If more knowledgeable help on pairing was available, wines could be considered reasonably priced.

    Great 1st visit! Friday lunch. All 3 of us enjoyed our meals. Tasty. Good size (not "big", but appropriate/ nice portion). Front and back of house staff were concerned and actively took proper steps to address a food allergy. We ordered the cheeseburger (x2) and Gem lettuce w/ chicken. Both were fantastic... flavor, presentation, preparation was as promised/ expected. Staff was attentive but not lurking. I look forward to returning.
