    Food is amazing, the place is cozy, perfect for a rainy Sunday. Wasn’t too hungry with my partner, so we went light on the order - “Dutch Babies -Savory” the must order, with a bowl of clam chowder. For two people, medium level craving, it does have me the taste of the joy and allows me to not feeling too stuffed :)

    We had an excellent anniversary dinner last night. It just happened that the two tables next to us were also celebrating their anniversary. We got a bottle of complimentary champagne to share which was super generous and considerate. The food was excellent and our waiter Tom was superb! It was a bit noisy as the restaurant was busy due to the holiday season, otherwise it was a perfect evening!! Thank you!

    We were Warmly welcomed even as our reservation had to be modified from 5 to 2 due to our friend’s sudden illness. Our cocktails were very good (Manhattans with 2 gourmet cherry accompaniment). My husband’s Cranberry Creek oysters were so delicious he ordered more. My salad of Gem lettuce, blue cheese, sieved egg, soft croutons was generous & tasty. I enjoyed my pasta & would have taken some home but my husband finished it! We couldn’t find room for dessert…. maybe next time.

    The food here is so great. There’s something for everyone and they are willing to accommodate, and are so warm and friendly about it. The gluten free bread is so incredible, I mentioned how portland struggles with gf bread that isn’t off, they brought me a whole loaf to bring back with me. It was so so so sweet. I recommend this place to everyone.
