"This was our first visit. it was great to be able to book the reservation online. once we arrive we were seated immediately. the seating in the back of the restaurant was not optimal however if we were seated closer to the front entrance
ce it would have been too loud hold a conversation. overall experience was excellent. The food and the service was outstanding. we even received a free dessert with a candle on it for my husband's birthday.

"Overall I was a little disappointed. I had a party of 8 and if I would have been aware of the size of the restaurant I never would have made the reservation there. It was pretty cramped and we were at a long table which made it very hard to carry on conversation. Also, they said they would have our table ready and set by the time we got there and it wasn't. There were still people eating at the table when we arrived. They even called me an hour in advance to make sure our party was still coming. The small plates were very good and everyone was pleased. Our entrees however were a little disappointing I ordered the perch which I felt had no taste and a girlfriend of mine had the steak which was way overcooked!"

"The service was a bit on the slow side, food took a long time to come. It was very noisy and hard to have a conversation at the table. The Friday night fish fry was very good."

"Our food and service was just okay. We enjoyed the pork egg roll appetizers, and the seafood bisque. I ordered the flatbread pizza and was not recommend it. To call it pizza is a bit of a stretch. It's more like pizza toppings on a soggy cracker. I ended up pulling off the toppings and eating them alone, and the toppings themselves were lacking. Hubbie got a hanger steak sandwich. He said the steak was good, but the onions were over-poweringly sweet. The service was just okay, and I felt that we got less attention from our server bc we were not having drinks with our meal. I think it's probably a better place for a light dinner in the summertime when you could enjoy the view and small townie feel."

"Very casual, not a place for a quiet romantic dinner but okay if you have kids and want to get out of the house. Food experience not the best. Margharita pizza 'drizzled' with a balsamic reduction was soaked in it ruining the great crisp crust. Asked for side plate to rescue my food. Server asked it helped, I said no its already soaked & she offered to have it remade. Still too much imo. Husbands steak sandwich was good if you like med. rare. Weren't asked how we wanted it done. Soup spilled over onto the serving plate and was served with a sorry about that response. I recommend a seat away from the door. Very very drafty in the winter. Door seemed to swing open and not close when the wind got hold of it. I probably would not return."
