The food was excellent and our server was very nice. The problem was we order drinks and apps, the apps arrived before the drinks the escargot was room temperature at best, two drinks were made incorrectly, though I don’t believe there was a bartender last night. Then it took another 90 minutes before our entrees arrived. When they did the scallops were cold, one steak was way over cooked, and the second round of drinks were also made incorrect. The food was very tasty, and I want to believe that this was an off night. I also believe this is an establishment more suited for two top date nights than the eight top we were. I’ll probably give it another chance, but not when I’m planning on being somewhere after.

A romantic restaurant hidden at the crossroads at the top of a hill in Branford with exquisite cuisine and cocktails. It's simple, charming and cozy. Our server was attentive, but not overly attentive, allowing us to enjoy our wine and meal. We started with the escargot, which was delicious. We had the cod and duck breast entree that were beyond expectations. We'll be back. Probably often.

Every course of the meal was excellent - two apps (escargot and endive salad), dinners (scallops and cod), and desserts (peach melba and chocolate mousse). Excellent service, friendly staff. Will absolutely return!
