    We had a reservation for eight for lunch. We had great service w/ friendly staff, & delicious food. The only downside was we were sitting close to the door so we were blasted with cold air every time somebody came in and out.

    We really enjoyed the food and the service was attentive but not overwhelming. This small restaurant was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. Order the halibut. You won’t be disappointed.
