    Wonderful experience, lovely table near the fireplace as requested, although unfortunately they were unable to start the fireplace on a very cold night. But it still had great atmosphere and wonderful ambiance. Our waitress Lauren was great, very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent and I would highly recommend the lobster fried rice! We’ve been there many times before when we’ve had tickets for a show at The Kate and we will definitely go back again!

    Excellent dining experience in every way—warm, inviting ambiance, thoughtful and courteous waitstaff, delicious cuisine, and reasonably priced. Lively bar opposite the dining room for those who want a little more variety, but it’s not excessively noisy. Practically a Westbrook institution—so consistently well done for years.
