    as great as is the food, and as beautiful the room, the SERVICE blows it out of the park. Each person, regardless of their position, could not have been more wonderful. Definitely a perk each time I visit this special place.

    It's a lovely restaurant and staff was top notch. My disappointment was we went for North Shore Restaurant month with a prix fixe menu. When compared to their regular menu, most of the choices were the same price or some $2-$3 less. To me, that seemed like not in the spirit of restaurant week. I ordered the cauliflower kebab. And that's all I got, 3 big pieces of cauliflower with a tiny bit of onion in between. I like cauliflower but I expected something more interesting. They did offer rice or brussel spouts, which was nice. I chose the brussel sprouts. They were deep fried to blackish & I don't recommend. I will say my companion enjoyed her choices & other diners meals looked good too. I would not recommend going for Restaurant Month, the cauliflower kebab or brussel sprouts but give it a try and order something else.
