    This was our first visit to the restaurant and it was lovely. We were nearly the only guests because we just had a snow event a few days prior. So it was quiet and it allowed us to talk easily and walk around and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. Food was excellent and I highly recommend. For dessert, we had the Chai soufflé. I would not classify it as a soufflé, but it was even better than expected. It was dense and flavorful and I would have loved a bigger piece!! We would love to visit again during sunlight hours so we can see the water!

    The wait staff was amazing. Our server was attentive and very accommodating. The restaurant was wonderfully decorated in colonial decor and was clean and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious but the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Overall we were very pleased with our dining experience.
