"Have been there many times, and the food is pretty good, generally speaking. However, they almost never change their menu, which is heavily meat based and hardy with staples like mashed potatoes. There a bit of a lack of fresh vegetables, especially in the summer, a lack of fresh salads and summer vegetables. The one salad, beet with arugula is often slightly soggy. Meat eaters however, really enjoy their meats and they’re well prepared. Also think, having a curry as the only vegetarian option (besides fish) is an odd choice. There’s also curry in the mussels, and almost all dishes have lots of garlic, which always makes me wary if chefs need to overuse that ingredient. Regarding the atmosphere, the table next to the kitchen, where they often place large groups needs to be eliminated. It’s totally cramped dining; kitchen staff is constantly walking by very closely in the busiest area of the restaurant. Further, there are two vents in the floor shooting up hot or cold air, depending on the season, right under peoples chairs. Unbearable if you sit on one of these vents and totally unacceptable-also for hygiene reasons- having that stuff blow up, onto your table and into your food."

"Went with a group and sat upstairs, the wait staff did a great job as we were kind of rowdy. Drinks were great as well as the service. As far as the food goes we ordered a lot of different apps and they all looked good. I personally didn’t try them. The menu does change a lot based on the season. I had the seafood risotto and it was good just lacking in the seafood amount for the price paid. Overall the ambiance was great as well."

"This place was perfect! Stayed upstate for my birthday weekend and came here for my birthday dinner and WOW! Best food I’ve had in a very long time. The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was perfect! Will definitely be back when we’re in the area!"

"Excellent experience! The hostess and servers were polite and accommodating. The Parpadelle was superb. The braised cabbage with bacon was tasty as well. My husband’s roasted duck breast with whipped potatoes and carrots had a nice presentation and was delectable."
