"Lovely interior, crisp service, delicious dishes. But you 'll have to shout at your table companions, esp if you sit along the wall (the sound bounces).Good bottle of chianti classico. The Italian margarita was very lemony and bright. My friend had a drink with campari. She liked it.The mushroom soup was exquisite. Very fresh and innovative, rich and creamy, full flavored with bits of mushrooms and a great touch of blue cheese which made a wonderful contrast of sharp flavor against the dark smoothness of the soup.The baked brie appetizer had a generous mix of nuts and fresh woodland berries and a great piece of cheese. The pastry was thin and crisp and completely ruined by being drowned in caramel sauce. It wasn 't a drizzle. It was enough for sundae. It swamped the rich warm flavor of the brie the way hyper sweet toppings on a Starbucks crushes the coffee flavor. It needed a light drizzle of some sort of berry sauce instead to keep the dish light and flavorful.The small house salad is a good size. You could throw some shrimp on it for a great lunch. Delicious mix.The lamb was a generous portion with a good mix of greens and some berries to compliment the flavor. The others had duck and a shrimp and pasta dish. I didn 't try the duck but the shrimp was big, meaty and perfectly cooked.The desserts were had were the cheesecake and the bombolini, some kind of pastry balls with ganache. I didn 't like the texture of the cheesecake; it seemed lumpy. But the lavender granite was amazing! Great texture, surprising flavor. I 'd love a whole dish of just that. The ganache was intensely rich and delicious, and the prosecco whip was scrumptious.But no espresso?! Over all, a terrific dinner."

"**Location:** The restaurant is situated in Sloatsburg, with free parking available on-site. You'll be greeted by charming bears at the entrance. It seems to be a house that has been converted into a restaurant, and the interior is spacious with ample seating. It's clean and family-friendly, featuring a bar and live music. **Service:** We were warmly welcomed by a lovely grandma who was incredibly nice and accommodating. Our server was also delightful and offered excellent recommendations. **Food:** The food here is outstanding! - **Grilled Montreal Ribeye:** This was incredibly tasty, and you can tell it’s not mass-produced like in other restaurants. It pairs perfectly with the mashed potatoes. - **Half Rack Ribs:** Another favorite! The meat just falls off the bone. - **Shrimp Artichoke:** The shrimp are huge, and the sauce is creamy and delicious. - **Caesar Salad:** The best salad I've ever had! The dressing is fresh and has a lovely egg aroma. - **Open Faced Reuben:** My brother-in-law thought it was just okay, but it was a massive sandwich! - **Cheese Pizza:** My nephew loved it and devoured half of it. - **Cod Salad:** A limited option, but my father adored it and said it was perfectly seasoned. **Rating:** I’d give it a 7/10. The prices are reasonable for such delicious food. I’ll definitely return when I'm in Sloatsburg—it's very family-oriented and the service is great! Make sure to try the Ribeye and Shrimp Artichoke!"
