Everything was great. Waiter great. However I had your famous pot pie. Waiter should provide a large spoon. But my issue was way too much rosemary in the pot pie. Doesn’t need any. I only ate a few bites

Chicken vegetable soup, lobster roll, loaded baked potato and brownie sundae were delicious and plenty for 2 adults to share. A very short wine list. The other guests at our table enjoyed the rib eye and salmon.
