    This was my first time and I would go again. The food was great even though the menu is limited if you are vegetarian/vegan. I had the watermelon tatakki and yucca balls as an app. The main course was wild mushroom ravioli with an alfredo type sauce an and molten chocolate cake for dessert. The drink menu was lovely with lots of options.

    Thank you for outstanding service rendered to support our 2025 Galentine luncheon! It was the first time for three of us visiting your fabulous restaurant. Our waiter, Scott made the experience quite memorable as he executed exquisite service. The entire experience was 5 stars from booking the reservation and having to modify shortly after, to the inviting welcome received by all. The time was perfect as our table was spot on and tucked intimately away which allowed us to fellowship comfortably with each other. The food was delicious, and the choices were great. The clam chowder soup was scrumptious, and our meals all received ten fingers up. The chicken sandwich was moist, and I was allowed to garnish non-traditionally with toppings to my taste. I will certainly return to this fabulous establishment, and I hope Scott is working when I do.

    My friend and I had a wonderful dinner here last night. We ordered the pork belly and salmon skewers as a starter and then had the Mussels, Wedge Salad and Mac and Cheese which were all delicious. We had great service with Chris who was very attentive and professional. He introduced us to the sommelier for wine assistance as well. We really appreciated having a knowledgeable “wine guy” on staff. He even answered questions beyond the menu. He was enthusiastic, friendly and made a good recommendation based on our taste preference. (Sorry we do not remember his name or I would give him a shout out!) The small things from a service perspective were noticed. We had leftovers which Chris took away and boxed up for us. This is a great touch beyond handing your guest a box and having them do it themselves. He also took away my friend’s mussel shells mid-meal so she could continue with a nice clean bowl. We will be back again! Thanks for a great dinner and for having a wonderful staff who greatly added to our experience!
