Brunch menu was very limited, and pancakes did not come with any extras — no fruit, no dusting of sugar, just syrup. Service is slow and lacking in confidence.

Food was OK, Nothing that was excellent. Davies with in the dishes really did not go together. Service was poor. Four people in the party. Two dinners came out first. We had to wait for the other two dinners to arrive. Ordered another round of drinks which never arrived.

The Salmon was very good, Ravioli’s were good. Lobster Bisque and Roasted Brussels Sprouts were delicious. Key Lime dessert, if I was 30 years younger, I would have had the WHOLE pie 🥧 L😊L . We are planning to return when the weather is warmer to sit outside and enjoy the Long Island Sound view.
