   Everything was very nice. The macadamia nut-encrusted salmon was delicious! The place was jammed for Thanksgiving evening (who knew?), and they might consider having more help or more sittings in the future. The staff was great, though harried and overwhelmed.

   Vicki tried. Service was slow. Food cold but cranberry sauce was good. Overpriced and certainly not as appetizing as the three previous Thanksgiving Dinners we enjoyed in the past. We will be making other arrangements in the future

   The food was very good, we’d come back on a different day; there wasn’t enough staff and the seating wasn’t managed well which affected the service.

   No seafood last night due to not getting a seafood delivery, but had pasta dishes and all was amazing. Our server Tim truly made our night and made our experience special. Chef Jay’s creations from the kitchen will not disappoint and the chicken parm, eggplant parm, stuffed mushrooms and tirimisu didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend and will be back again soon!

   Food was great, Tim was a good waiter and personable….where they lost me was the bar experience where my party migrated for after dinner drinks. The bartender, Tanya I believe, would not have gotten past her first shift and possibly even her entrance interview if I were the owner of this establishment Horrendous is the softest comment I can think of. Our party were two couples of longtime friends looking to catch up over a fine meal. After dinner we moved to the bar to free up our table and continue our conversation. 3 of the 4 of us heard Tanya actually use the C word while telling a story to our wives. Luckily for her, I was the one who did not hear the comment. I was appalled enough by her general behavior but using THAT word was obviously something completely unacceptable. I would have demanded to speak to management or ownership had I heard the comment. Absolutely embarrassing and appalling experience being that I chose the restaurant. Never again based solely on the fact that the establishment actually allows her to tend bar in the first place. I witnessed several uncomfortable expressions on the faces of other patrons at the bar where the Tanya show was on full display. She belongs in a dive bar not a fine dining restaurant. End rant….

   Dear Rick; Sorry to hear your very enjoyable evening was ruined when you moved to the Bar for a night cap. As much as I agree with you, her use of the C word while telling a story to your wives has no place in my establishment at anytime, Your dissatisfaction has been brought to her attention, as she is highly embarrassed and does apologize. Tanya does do a very good job behind the Bar and most likely had a slip of the tongue by using that very inappropriate word.

   Salad starters Cape Cod Harvest and Burrata Beet Salad, plentiful for two to share each choice were creative and delicious! Outstanding dinners included the Chicken Parmesan, Linguine with white clam sauce, Scarpariello, and Captains Cod Piccata. (We took home leftovers for another meal.) Accompanied by bread and olive oil/olives/garlic dipping sauce, wine and cocktails, it simply doesn’t get any better! I can’t forget to mention the professional and attentive service we received from Vicki! Can’t wait to return!
