    My second time here I was not impressed, I expected higher quality for a place that requires reservations. I don’t know if the dishwasher wasn’t working but everything was dirty, the server did replace. My first experience was good but seems lately after COVID happened these places are struggling to return back to their normal ways.

    The service was great. From the greeting to our waitress was friendly and very conscientious. The food was good, not great. The meals were not really flavorful. My whole clams were dry and not strong flavored. My wife's butterfly shrimp were kind of flat too. All in all, the visit was good and the food average. The atmosphere was good for conversation but the air was cool, so we were a little uncomfortable.

    I sat at the bar before my party arrived. The bartender gave me (2) drinks that were made improperly. I spoke to her about this and evidently the lines into the bar soda gin had been mixed between tonic water and ginger ale. My party arrives and we were seated for dinner. My invoice numbers are: 0073 0083

    We had Erik as our server. He was outstanding. He definitely went above and beyond what we needed from him. The food was great. I wish they had better plating for entrees. It seemed a bit out of date. Bread was delicious! Overall a great date night.
