    Great food, great views, great service. Got the smoked salmon reuben based on other reviews (even though I was doubtful of the salmon and sauerkraut combo) and it was really good. My companion got the pastrami which was also really good. Will definitely come here again.

    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
