We love this resturant year-round! Never disappoints! We have several servers who are outstanding but Kevin is our favorite. Always welcoming & knowledgeable about the menu. And we enjoy his interaction with us and his humor. The menu is perfect & changes with the seasons. The chef is very consistent. The dishes are always on point. The atmosphere in the dining area is comfortable, and the deck is outstanding in the summer with the sunsets. The bar is large and the bartenders are very friendly. It’s a full bar and I’m sure they can make any drink you would desire. Love that it’s so close to my home. I try not to go too much!

What’s there not to love? It’s near impossible to be fair because I’ve never had a restaurant where EVERYONE is so positive and happy to make your experience so wonderful. When I come here I get to see the terrific staff with a coordinated view and food. Love it. Look forward to being back at the summer house down the block and being a weekly regular again.

The food and atmosphere was wonderful. It was the day of the tree lighting ceremony so I think that’s why the kitchen was a bit slow. It took awhile to get each course and there was a delay with putting in the main course. Our waiter was very courteous and professional and provided us with separate checks however due to the computer system he was not able to separate the desserts. It got sorted out but then as soon as we paid someone came over and informed us that they needed our table because the next reservation had been waiting 20 minutes. However we would’ve been out a lot sooner if the food came out a lot quicker.
