Reviews
"Food was amazing, we had a bowl of New England Clam Chowder, the smoked salmon for our appetizer & Burger without the bun salad & shared everything, my husband & I. Our waitress was very friendly & helpful in making our choices."
"This place was amazing. We sat at the bar to avoid the wait. Our bartender Chris was very helpful in selecting the best dinner and drinks. The food was seasoned to perfection. The shrimp scampi popped with delicious garlic. I had the halibut with the delicate, but tasty breading, and delicious sauce. A real dining experience paired with delicious drinks. Highly recommend."
"First time here . Food , service and atmosphere were perfect! the burger was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The shrimp tacos were a hit and the chicken caprese panini was also delicious"
"Disappointed in the entrees served. Allison our waitress gave fine service. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere. The table ordered two appetizers and four entrees. The appetizers were good (the Brussels sprout pork belly were the star of the night). Unfortunately, our main course was disappointing. The shrimp scampi was just okay, (frozen shrimp). The burger was probably the better meal from the four we got. The cod special was cold and not salted or seasoned. We ordered a prime rib special which could only come medium not medium rare due to the time (which is understandable due to the time 8pm). The steak came out cold and fully cooked. Tasted awful like old meat. We asked for it to be taken back and warmed up. Once we received the steak back it wasn’t any better and the rest of the table had finished their meals. The manager at this point has come in to check on us and apologized and took the steak off the table and bill. She stated that the pork chop (our second option if the prime special wasn’t available) was almost ready. We were reluctant to accept it due to the table being done eating and ready to leave but the manager brought it out anyways we said we didn’t want it but insisted we try it. The pork chop was also over cooked and dry (tough to even get a fork in it). We took a bite to try, it was hard to cut the glaze was good and mashed potato sides were also very good but that was it. Not wanting to cause more fuss my partner just asked for the bill. I privately told the manager the pork chop was tough and dry and we couldn’t eat it. Very dissatisfied with the fact that we still had to pay $27 for the pork chop that we couldn’t even eat or take home to reheat."
"Food was excellent. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I had dinner here on a Saturday evening at 7:00 and goodness was it prime time. Good thing reservations were made. My one complaint was the noise. It was extremely loud. Definitely not a place to go when it is busy and you're trying to have a nice quiet dinner."
