Delicious! Charming place! We only wish our server had shared that the Pork 'elephant ear' was as big as it was, and suggested that my wife and her niece could have split the entree, as opposed to each ordering the entree. We had far too much food. Other than that, all very nice.

Lovely dining room. Modern with slight retro feel. Nice variety of menu options. Service was excellent. Old fashioned cocktail and Pinot Grigio for drinks, lobster linguini had nice chunks of lobster and was well-preserved. Spouse had the burger, also delicious. Will definitely return and recommend to others
