    Off night in the kitchen???? Love this place but this night was a food flop. Very little dip for the appetizers yet sadly this night the appetizers were the best part. There was literally one chunk of potato in the “loaded” potato soup. The blue gill was soft and slightly under cooked, with no flavor. The lobster roll looked good but ended up being dry and flavorless as well. Thought I made a mistake by not getting a steak but the people at the table next to us had to send their steaks back also!? I’ll give it one more go because I do like this place but two strikes and I’ll be out for good.

    We had a pleasant Thanksgiving dinner experience. Dinner was yummy and the serving was ample. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. It was overall a good value.

    Food was good. Prime rib sandwich was lacking flavor and was extremely messy. Bread was quite dry. But other food was outstanding. Service was great and waitress was super nice.

    We did not have to wait to be seated. Our server, Amanda, was quick to reach our table and take our drink orders. The food did not take very long to be brought to our table and it was hot and delicious ! The facilities are very nice and the restaurant was quiet enough to carry on a normal conversation !
