    Cheese board a hit. Crab and cheese sandwich nothing to talk about. Clam chowder good. Wine great. Too expensive.

    We had a lovely meal here. The house salad was a generous portion and had a tasty garlicky dressing. Wet loved the salmon and the scallops and gnocchi dishes. Our server was personable and kept us informed on a busy night. When he first came to the table it was to tell us that he’d be back in a few minutes. He checked in with us several times throughout the night, but it never felt intrusive or annoying . Would definitely go here again

    The food was excellent. Service left a lot to be desired. They tried serving our entrees before the appetizer we ordered. We asked them to take the entrees back. The waitress was apologetic and comped the appetizer which was appreciated.
