    Our server was great. Very charming and personable. Food overall was delicious and hot. The appetizers were delicious. We had the beef carpaccio which was very tasty, but not a lot on the plate imo. We also had the calamari was in a lemon piccata sauce and it was delicious. I wish they had more gluten free options. I asked for my pork piccata to not have breading or at least lightly dusted and it was not made that way. Overall very good food and great service.

    This was our first visit, but not the last. Two family members and my best friend joined me for a girls’ day out beginning with lunch and shopping afterwards. Nancy, our waitress, was attentive without being intrusive. She suggested some menu items and she wasn’t wrong. Two of us had the Seafood Cobb. Neither of us was able to finish the entire salad complete with shrimp and lobster. You can’t go wrong with the fish and chips either. The last choice was the Bowl. We want to thank Nancy for the helpful information about where else to go in the area. The consignment shop was amazing! Finally, thanks to everyone in the kitchen who made the meal so enjoyable.

    We had a large party with lots of fluctuations in people coming and going due to an event. Our server was excellent, being flexible, attentive and helpful. All of our meals were delicious from appetizers to entrees. My sister in law loved the tuna poke bowl and said she could have licked the plate! Portions were large but not overwhelming and appetizers were all shareable. We will be back; next visit we will have more time to try desserts!
