Our appetizer of arancini was spot-on in flavor and presentation. For entrees we shared the haddock with asparagus and rice and the harvest bowl (quinoa, zucchini, brussels sprout, avocado, fried carrot), which was surprisingly complex and interesting and tasty in addition to being healthy. My glass of Barbera was good and appropriately priced. The dessert didn't live up to everything else. The choices were standard and unimaginative, and the key lime pie was the version with gelatin that I always find inauthentic and less flavorful than the denser, more gooey version that I always love.

Wonderful drinks and meal, impeccable service! So impressed with the level of service!! Dips appetizer was soo good and plentiful. We ordered the salmon and halibut and both were really tasty and perfectly cooked with delicious pairings of veggies, risotto/rice and sauces. Highly recommend!!

My mussels were good and the baguette with them was delicious. Everyone else had the schnitzel, which they seemed to enjoy. My
husband said the asparagus and mashed potato sides were particularly tasty. Nice beer selection. Only complaint was noise level. I look forward to being able to eat outside this summer.

Great brunch, just a touch loud when looking for a quiet Sunday afternoon to wind down the weekend. Great food and service!
