"Not my kind of place. Bar /tavern side had shrieking, raucous customers on a day when no one around. Really a tasting menu, teeny plates, teeny portions, poor value. Waitress told me that the green peppers in my mussel soup were mild- they were not and had to spit out with my mouth on fire. Truly embarassing when I was being treated. They did give me asparagus instead. Their only vegetable. They did not notice that my water glass was empty and I had to request it. Backless benches to sit on in the tavern/ bar area but you can request an uncomfortable chair. Not a place if you eat high healthy protein and veggies like I do. I do not like to leave a restaurant feeling bloated with too much food but neither do I want to leave hungry. Their coffee was good after the meal."

We had a fabulous meal and felt extremely decadent ordering the fantastic sweetbreads. They were perfectly cooked, tender and delicious.

It was wonderful! Great service, friendly atmosphere in a semi formal space, and incredibly tasty (and creative but not otherworldly) food!
Amani
Amazing experience from the staff, ambiance, and the food was thoughtful, fresh, inventive and I want to go back immediately for the vegetable gnocchi. View menu

I like the atmosphere. Very noise yon a Saturday night. Food portions were small. I had the cod. It was very tasty but small. After dinner we sat outside bye the fire pit. Very cozy and relaxing.

I had a wonderful birthday evening with great company. It was my first time dining here, and I will definitely be back. James provided exceptional service and was incredibly kind. This place is a must-try!

I enjoyed the beet salad and the halibut with sea scallops, but the portion sizes were more akin to appetizers than main courses. The restaurant offers a pleasant and quiet atmosphere on weekdays, especially if you make a reservation. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. View menu

Shared 4 plates. Scallops perfectly cooked, sauce not very flavorful, chased the small amount of peas around the plate. Beet plate was good. Tuna Poke had strings of supposedly seaweed salad, chips were sparse and weren't wasabi powdered. When requested more chips, answer was "not sure, but will check." Returned with 4 chips. Seemed pretty peculiar that the smoked bluefish and avocado toast was served with bluefish on one toast and avocado on the other.

Flavor of food was between ok and good, nothing special. I had higher expectations after seeing reviews. I ordered a pasta dish with sausage. I appreciate the pasta, sauce and sausage all being homemade, but I was disappointed when the dish arrived with 3 small bites of sausage. I ordered a cocktail that arrived weak and mostly ice in the equivalent of a juice glass. When the waitress observed I drank it in a few sips, I asked for another, but without ice. What I got was an 8oz glass of milk with a shot of Kahlua in it. Not a way to impress. I just wanted a good drink.
