    Cure never disappoints! We were lucky to have Kate as our server; she knows the menu well and has fantastic customer service skills. My wife had the haddock special and I had the short rib dinner. The only negative was that two tables near us were particularly loud but you can’t blame the restaurant for that!

    Interesting cocktail menu. Many different appetizers. The stars were the roasted duck entre along with their infamous cornbread. We arrived at 5:00pm on a Sunday night but it quickly filled up and had a lively atmosphere. Wait staff were for congenial and helpful. Would definitely go back.

    Awesome dinner. We have been before and had high expectations. They were met! My drinks were awesome, I had the duck which was delicious, my friend had the lamb chops which were terrific and for an appetizer we had the home made corn bread which is mind blowing. Go, this place is great.

    Our meals last night were delicious — steak and a scallop special. Their duck is amazing and is my usual order but the scallops were so fresh and cooked to perfection. Their food is always delicious and a meal only gets better when the weather warms up and you can sit outside. Relaxed atmosphere, great service and consistently good food. The best meals we’ve had in a while and i can’t wait to go back.
