    First time visitors. There wasn’t anything they could’ve have been better. Service staff was friendly, helpful and attentive, they were not pushy or rushing us. Value was great- average prices for similar restaurant. Food was OUTSTANDING! A rundown: Bread, served with oil - delicious Clam chowder- not too thick broth, diced clams, chunky potatoes, peppery- suburb, above average chowder. Haddock Della Note- great portion size. Served with roast potatoes and veggies- delicious. Cooked to perfection. Salmon Balsamico- large portion size - tomato balsamic salsa atop grilled to perfection salmon. Served with roasted potato and veggies. Dessert- chocolate peanut butter cake. The perfect blend of moist cake and creamy peanut butter. Would give 10 stars! Will be back!

    Old time restaurant. Hadn’t been here in a long time. It was a Wednesday night so not too busy. Big portions Good prices Good service Chicken Marsala was flavorful but one piece had the tough chewy thing going on. Overall it needs a little sprucing up but still was a nice night.

    So sad this restaurant is closing, but glad my son and I were able to dine there last night. Everything was perfect. The ambience, the food…amazing all around. The fresh homemade pasta for my manicotti was the best I’ve ever had…velvety and light and delicious.
