    We ordered the rack of lamb and split it. It was more than enough. Rack of lamb is one of my favorites and I would say that this ranks as the best I have eaten or prepared myself. It was interesting that the server clearing our bare plates said that this was his favorite. Better than the filet mignon. We are here for the winter and will be back

    Was surprised to see the menu offerings were rather standard fare. Service was ok but nothing special really. The waiter was attentive and didn't let us daly at all. We brought our two well behaved dogs but only the nearby guests made them well welcomed. The staff could care less and did not even offer them water which was unusual for us anyway.

    Had the crab cakes. No flavor. Made with some fluffy texture that did resemble crab meat. The chicken breast with mustard sauce was lacking any flavor. It came out piping hot like from microwave and when is mustard black. Great atmosphere and the drink was good.
