Since 1972, we’ve believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous ‘Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    The interior of the restaurant, although small, did not seem overly tight. we were able to enjoy conversation without an issue. Our server was Theresa who was friendly and answered a few of our questions. The pork chop was great, very tender. The chicken savoy was also very good. It's a BYOB and conveniently there is a liquor store next door in case you forgot. We will definitely be back!

    We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the beautiful Pearl restaurant at the Oyster Point Hotel. The view overlooking the river added to the charm of the setting. I had the lamb roll which basically was a French dip with lamb rather than beef. Without a doubt it was one of the most delicious lunches I’ve ever had. Fish and chips were also ordered at our table and it too was delicious. Our server was excellent. She recommended the lamb for which I was very grateful, checked back on us during the meal without being a nuisance. She was friendly without trying to become our new best friend as so many American waiters and waitresses do. We were able to stay as long as wanted without the staff trying to turn over the table for other guests. Her dessert recommendations were again delicious. This is definitely a restaurant I will return to.

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Disappointed that it was 'deli' turkey, and not carved off the bird. Also disappointed with the little dollop of whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. The sides were delicious, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the seasonal drink - Midnight Harvest. Our server Matt was the best.
