    We enjoyed a booth so we could talk, but it was very quiet. We enjoyed some wine and split a Caesar salad that was good but would have been better with less dressing. My friend really enjoyed her whitefish that was served with many vegetable. I ordered the baked cod with mushrooms and spinach. Our server was attentive but not intrusive.

    We go here often, as it's one of our go to's. Tonight we noticed every staff member was exceptional at greeting us, making sure had anything we needed, they really went above and beyond. From a busboy to the waiter to the front of the house- all excellent. My only complaint was my daughter's pesto pasta was way undercooked and kind of hard. We didn't say anything as we should have, but everyone was really so nice.
