    Great food. Love the clam chowder, the buratta cheese and peach salad and the steak sandwich. We should be more adventurous but these choices are just that good. It’s a perfect place for an evening meal

    This experience was outstanding. The tuna poke and clam chowder were amazing appetizers. The cheddar scallion biscuits drizzled with honey with the blueberry lime jam were quite tasty. Unfortunately, it was all so good that we were getting full and didn’t get to savor enough of the chicken and catch of the day as our entrees, which were really exceptional! The leek cream sauce with arugula and cranberries on the chicken was delectable. The sauce with the catch of the day (pan fried sea bass) was also incredible. And I can’t forget to mention the brussel sprouts. The addition of the capers to those is quite ingenious as it adds some tangy balance to the richness of the sprouts’ glaze. Amazing. Next time I am in town, dinner here is a must!
