   The ambiance is cute, elegant, classy, yet also relaxed & casual. The host and server were both friendly, energetic, and enthusiastic. They gave us the right amount of attention. Not too much, but they came by often enough that we never had to wait. The wine, beer, cocktail, and mocktail lists were all extensive, filled with interesting, high-quality selections. If we had been drinking more, there would have been many more things we would have liked to have ordered. We ordered the Pear Martini, which was elegant, balanced, flavourful, and vibrant. And the Strawbery 75, which was also delicious. The food was delicious! We ordered the Tuna Tartare appetizer, the Seared Nantucket Sea Scallops, the LOTS OF LOBSTER "ADULT" BAKED MACARONI THE ORIGINAL, and the Creme Brulee Cheesecake. The cheesecake, and the scallop risotto were both just fine. But the real standouts were the Lobster Mac, and the Tuna Tartare. Both of those were AMAZING! 😁 We'll definitely plan to return!

   Food and service was exceptional. A bit noisy. Above average pricing but worth it.

   First time and definitely not our last! Drinks were great and fun, got the oysters & calamari for apps - both very good! The filet was cooked perfectly and my husband who’s not a sauce guy loved the sauce that came with it. The scallops were great as well as the risotto. They sat us in the bar and my only complaint was that it was a lot louder than I’d expect. Our server was great and staff was friendly!

   The ambiance is lovely although the restaurant was not near capacity so unsure what the noise level would be then. The staff were friendly and helpful. The wine list was good . The food was fairly priced and uneven but largely adequate.

   The food was excellent and the portions more than plenty for a luncheon. My friend had the Chicken Tikka Marsala and I had the Steak Sandwich. We both enjoyed our choices. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was open, bright and sophisticated.

   First time visiting since ownership changed. Sat in a booth in bar. Ordered the Caesar Salad and Beet Salad as apps. Caesar was fine. More like a chopped version of a Caesar. I prefer the more traditional. Was dressed nicely and fresh. Beet salad was really good. My partner ordered the scallops over risotto. Scallops were done perfectly and tasty. I had the crispy skin Salmon served over a red pepper hummus. Very tasty dish. Bit too much hummus but overall was very good. Key lime pie to finish was unique and really really good. John, who was tending bar and handling the tables in the area was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

    Atmosphere is lovely. Good was very good. Love the whole farm to table concept. It’s a lot better than the older Carole Pecks at the end before they sold it. I would recommend it.
