   It was the first visit for a friend and I who celebrate our birthdays together and it was the perfect choice. We sat on the porch where it wasn’t very busy for a Thursday and had an amazing lunch! The duck was delicious and the salad with salmon was so much more than just a salad. Our bread pudding for dessert was the best birthday treat. Truly a great place to enjoy an amazing meal with great service.

   Table was ready at the time of reservation and was seated promptly upon arrival. Service was very good. Ordered appetizers which came out in good time and were very good. We had ordered entrees at the same time as the appetizers. Entrees came out before we could finish our appetizers which was bad timing. Sitting at a small table there was no room for all the plates so the appetizers had to be picked up without the opportunity to finish them. We were offered to pack up the appetizers which was not preferable. Entrees ordered was the lobster risotto and the swordfish. Both meals were extremely salty. The risotto had large pieces of shallots and the lobster was overcooked. Entrees were disappointing. Would go there again but not order the same entrees and it was not worth the money spent.

    The food and service were excellent. The only criticism is that it has a limited menu.
