"Pretty disappointing lunch experience. The Ceasar salad though fresh barely tasted like a ceasar lacking the zest normally associated with a good ceasar. The potatoes as a side were undercooked and hard. We were the only ones dining at the time so it was not for a good reason that our lunches were brought well before we were close to being finished with our salads. We had gyros and salads for two, no drinks and one desert which was excellent ( chocolate decadence tort). Our bill was nearly $100 before tip. I had just met the chef's parents from out of state days prior - They bragged that their son is a great chef. I understand parents' pride in their children but it just went to multiply our disappointment in the quality. Our waitress was joyfully and attentive. So maybe she is unaware of timing the firing of an entre order or the chef rushed it. I don't recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something above average."

"Our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast. We had the mussels and farm fresh burger which we would definitely come back for. Live music on Saturdays, unfortunately we left before the show started but could tell it was going to get busy as we were headed out. Will be back for sure the next time we are in town."

"I came in here yesterday to try there Mussel's, they were fantastic I ate out on the deck and the staff was fantastic, this is an appetizer serving. I was pleasantly surprised on how generous the portion was. The Lavender lemonade is a must, I would have bought a bottle of that if it was available :) As I was checking out I realized I knew the gal that came out to ask how I liked my meal. Apparently they are dog friendly for outside dining :) I will bring Charlie next time :)"

"A lovely spot for some local wine and a delicious lunch! The staff were kind and the atmosphere was very cute! A hidden gem on the south end of the island!"
