    Kayla is a great server and there’s often live music (last night was a little loud) but normally it’s a good volume. Good cocktails, decent food and cozy vibe- it’s one of our go to places. Highly recommend only wish they had more lite & healthy vegetarian options.

    Excellent all around at a very good price. Clam chowder had plenty of actual clam meat and my burger was perfect. The waitress was great. Wish I could recall her name. Try the blueberry pomegranate cider!

    Spicy seafood risotto was not the least bit spicy. It was also lukewarm at best. Not very appetizing at all. I ordered a side Caesar salad that had the slightest amount of dressing on it. Hardly any flavor. Being in a slight rush, I didn’t send anything back, though I did let our waitress, who was very nice, know at the end. Did not order dessert. Will not go back.

    Dinner was very nice. We had to sit inside or wait for an outside table even with a reservation.

    We had a great meal this Labor Day weekend. The drunken clams with sausage and mushrooms was amazing. Great ambience and wonderful staff made the evening enjoyable

    It was a nice experience, barring a few tweaks they could make. This is coming from a family who eats out often. More than 3x a week. Thankfully they were open to change our reservation time. The hostesses get an A+ for smiles and energy. Our server Kristine was reserved, and not particularly happy. Hopefully, it was just the day. They were swamped. The salmon in their salmon salad was dry, as was the chicken in the Chicken Chop dinner salad. The coating of sesame/ poppy was so thick we had to waste salmon not to eat it. On an antiflamatory diet, thats bad. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. Hopefully, you have a better experience.
