    Noise level on a Sunday was high--not the after-church crowd. Sandwiches are way too large, could/should be shared by two people. My partner liked the salmon bruschetta very much.

    My son enjoyed the ribs which he shared with us. His girlfriend had the softshell crab salad which she said was good. Also appreciated the ice cream sundae which was birthday treat for my son. Overall food was excellent.
