    Everything was on point. The drinks- yum The food- fresh and hot. 🔥 Delicious. The bread a good light opener. Crab cakes—- the perfect amount of crab and it was moist. The sauce—Freshly made and plated like artwork. Steak Frites the perfect amount.. hot fries crisp… steak tender, juicy and the right amount of seasoning.. a little of the Brussel sprouts would have made this over the top… you get those with salmon dish they looked so good I had to bribe my friend to share some 😊 Churros— absolutely delicious suggestion eat them while they are hot I’m certain they would have been even better . The Service— the management here appears to have mastered how to motivate people to work together. The restaurant is very intimate with set seating hence the 3 week wait for an early seating on a Friday. All of the staff were polite, pleasant, attentive and respectful. They worked together to make your experience feel as if you were dining in their home and they were there to serve you. Even the person I thought was the Manager was part of the ebb and flow of a great atmosphere and evening. As we left and passed by the staff all of them, our server, bartender, hostess and Manager thanked us and wished us a good evening. I’d say an amazing 5 Star ⭐️ Experience. Definitely worth the wait to have the time slot I wanted. A new little hidden gem from my perspective. Don’t let the wait fool you… there’s a reason… simply perfection.

    Outstanding dinner in a friendly ambiance. Don’t miss the focaccia . We had chowder and haddock, both delicious! The bread pudding (with cinnamon, pecans, caramel sauce) was the best ever… you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
