The Pink Lady mocktail might just be the very best non-alcoholic drink I’ve had in a long time. Incredible! I also enjoyed their avocado Cobb salad with steak & cookie for dessert. Service was good. Really enjoyed dinner here and it made a great date night spot. Would recommend!

Our dishes were delicious - it was our anniversary and the place busy and took awhile for our server to return to check and we had a lil issue that was finally resolved. The lobster roll was tasty but small and the scallop dish was one of the best meals I’ve had. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the food and the vibe. However, the service was very slow bc of an event going on in one part of the restaurant. The venue is noisy, like the majority of the restaurants nowadays.

Very disappointing. We came here for drinks before dinner elsewhere. Had planned to get an appetizer with the drinks. Four of us ordered a cocktail each, two of one kind and two of another. Two of the drinks came out after about 10 minutes, and the other two took another 15 minutes. 25 minutes to bring 4 drinks from the bar? AND IT WASN'T BUSY! So with all of that, we weren't about to order an appetizer and wonder how long that would take. Next thing to note, there was a little plate of olives and some kind of banana chips put out on the table before the drinks arrived. When we asked for silverware/napkins, we were asked if we had ordered food. Like they wouldn't bring us a napkin or silverware unless they had. Really? A totally disappointing experience.
