Great food, service could be better, strange choice of loud music in the dining room made it feel like a bar instead of a nice dinner.

Food and service were excellent although I had the salmon and it was a little dry. Our seating was near the window area which would have been great during the day. However, it was cold outside and there was definitely a draft near the windows which made sitting there a little uncomfortable at times.

I got the cioppino and my wife got the veggie shrimp dish. Both were great. We got there super early )”(4:39) New Year’s Eve. Went with a table of 8. The service was awesome even though the waitress forgot the ketchup steak knife and a few other things. We all left happy. We would go back

Great food at a fair price. The ambience is very Coastal New England as it should be given it is on the coast of--duh!--New England. Have been there before and will go again. Loved it!
