Our entrees were pork ossobuco and grilled haddock . The haddock was served over a barley risotto. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. Nice sized portions. I almost didn’t order the haddock because it was described in the menu as served with “ barley with black bean, ricotta & mozzarella”, which sounded weird to me. The server’s description was spot on, so I gave it a try. So glad that I did! Should be a regular addition to the menu. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you haven’t already tried it.

Our server, Cindy, was lovely and attentive. The food : we shared baked clams and lobster wontons and I had the Manhattan clam chowder all of which were delicious. The cocktails were wonderful also. We look forward to going back again soon.

We started with the baked clams, mussels and fried calamari which were all cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mains of short ribs, NY strip, filet and chicken pot pie were outstanding and bursting with mouth-watering yumminess. Two thumbs for Nicole who made the evening superb. Her top notch friendly service truly added to our evening. We look forward to our next visit and her company!!!

Vince the bartender was very courteous and attentive with our drinks and meal to the point he deliciously modified our drinks to perfection. As always, the seafood bisque and onion soup were superb. We had ordered the short rib which was a little on the tough side and could have had a little more gravy to compliment it. Otherwise, a great place located on the water who are great hosts to locals, regulars, and first time diners
