Wonderful, relaxing setting. We got seated in the fireplace room which was very lovely. The food was top-notch. First time I had had a chance to have rabbit in a long time and my companions, almond crusted chili and Seabass was awesome. It is not a cheap restaurant, but you definitely get what you pay for. Best drawn butter for the lobster tail I have ever had.

I don't think we would return on a big holiday like Thanksgiving. The wait staff seemed frenetic, overwhelmed and exhausted. My partner and I both ordered the turkey platter. He ate all of his, but I could hardy eat half! It was a HUGE amount of food. What was distressing to me is how it looked. The sweet potatoes were so dark I couldn't tell them from the little bit of cranberry sauce on the plate. Also, there were pieces of turkey meat I couldn't eat, i.e. grissle, I guess. It's a lovely place with a varied menu, but again, I don't think holidays are the time to go.

The prices keep going up, the portions get smaller and our waiter treated us like we were eating at Applebee's. We had to ask about the specials and he never asked to refill our water until after we were done eating. Usually when your glass is empty it gets refilled right away. We've been going there for over 15 yrs, but it looks like we will be looking for somewhere else to go.

We were very happy with our table in the back of the dining room - it really helped with the noise level. A few things of note that weren't so great ... the room next to us had some kind of event going on where they were taking a lot of pictures. The flash on the camera was coming through the window in front of our table that was very distracting during our experience there. It would have been helpful to have blinds closed to shield us from that. Also, the popovers didn't seem fresh, they were somewhat dry, a first in our experience. Our server wasn't super attentive until about halfway through our time there. We've never experienced this at your restaurant - all previous servers have been excellent. Of all of our meals, the swordfish and escargot were the best. The crab cake my Mother and I had was just ok, and the fries in the cup just didn't seem to fit with the meal, or the cost. Neither of us cared for the sauce for the crab cake. Overall, the experience balanced out to a good rating. We still love Duling Kurtz but she wasn't our best experience with you.

I absolutely loved this restaurant and the whole vibe! When we arrived, we were escorted upstairs to a table in front of a fireplace in a cozy intimate room. Everything from the vintage decor to the building itself has a historical charm. Our waitress brought fresh Popovers that tasted like they came straight from Bar Harbor ME. Everything from the pear martini I ordered, the Smoked Salmon Appetizer, or the Seared Sea Scallops were prepared beautifully and absolutely amazing! It’s a great special occasion restaurant or just because you want a great meal in a chill spot!
