A great spot for a hearty dinner plate or sandwich. The inside is warm and inviting and slightly upscale while also have the vibe of a local bar. The food is a little pricey but they have an option for everyone. We tried the steak, a swordfish special and salmon. The special came with little bits of pork belly and was definitely my favorite! Service was friendly, helpful, and relatively fast. Will definitely be back!
Such a beautiful, delicious and affordable spot to grab lunch or dinner. A friend came to help me during my knee replacement and I needed to get out. The Peach/Lemonade basil cocktail was a great start. We shared dumplings that were great and she had French onion soup and I had the cream of crab soup. Great staff, good food and reasonable pricing. Perfect!
Have done takeout on our last few visits to family in the area. Consistently good food. Always get the crab cakes and they did not disappoint! The tuna was excellent. The portions were fine. The kids meals were gobbled up. Our favorite appetizer to share is the baked brie with lots of berries, and jam on the side. Although pricey, it is worth it for the variety and quality of the offerings. Can't speak to service or wait times, as we always do take out.
Good service. Drinks came out in a timely manner. Food was good. Server came by the right amount of times to check in on us. All in all a pleasant experience and would visit again.
Great food and fair prices. Love the soup trio. Hope they keep it on the menu. Review requires 85 characters
