This restaurant looks casual and comfortable on the outside but once you go in you are entering into a very upscale restaurant. Not that there is anything wrong with that but we were very under dressed. They stuck us at this little tiny table with no elbow room to move , then the food came out very very late as... More

Service was really bad. One excuse after another, they ran out bread, they were under staffed, the cook was running behind, the bartender was sick, and on and on all night. It took over 2 hours for a couple appetizers and two entrees, good thing we weren’t in a rush. The food was over prepared, overpriced, and in my case... More

This dining experience was exceptional for being outside of a major city such as Boston or New York. It is a unique gem in this area and we recommend it to anyone looking for an upscale yet intimate dining experience. Perfect treating loved ones on special occasions. More

We eat inside the restaurant, but would be fun on a warm night to eat in their sidewalk cafe tables. Ecclectic menu. Great food and service was super. They had a nice bar and wine / martini seletion as well. More

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant very much. We enjoyed comfortable outdoor seating. The food was quite good. Everyone was happy with their meal. The bacon wrapped dates are amazing! Even a simple spinach salad was great. We found the service to be quick and attentive, although we were there when there were not many people in the restaurant. More
