    Much better than last week when we had to be seated in the bar because of a private group party in the dining room. Dining room still noisy. Halibut was excellent & service was very good. Will be back

    Consistently good- we come here often. Portions were a tad “precious” for the price but tasty- accompaniments need some work- could be more creative.(3 small asparagus spears one of which couldn’t be cut and a scoop of mashed potatoes with the fish special)

    First visit and it was outstanding at every level. Don’t miss this fabulous restaurant and be sure to arrive a few minutes early to purchase your wine at their store nextdoor. $15 corkage fee and you will be ready to dive into a menu that has something for everyone. The mussels melted in my mouth and the fish special was exceptional. I will be back with friends!

    We brought friends this time and everyone loved what they ate and drank. The old fashion was perfect. The wine also great! And every dish delightful.

    Had reservations- liked getting a follow up email the day before to confirm the reservation. Was seated promptly- restaurant was busy - we were waited on almost immediately. Tammy was great- rolled out the specials expertly then answered all our questions. The drinks arrived quickly- the appetizers followed. They even split the salad for us-as they brought it on two plates. We shared the French Country salad- fantastic-what a great combination. The entries-arrived timely and off the chart delicious. Cajun Shrimp and one of the special for the evening- short ribs. And we finished off the evening with the bread pudding- I have a sweet tooth- excellent!! Pricing was very reasonable-all the staff was very helpful- will definitely be back.
