I reserved a dinner for two and was rewarded with an exceptional dinning experience for my wife's birthday! It all started with a greeting when we entered Ledger's Restaurant and culminated with fine cuisine consisting of grilled salmon. The meal was excellent and the service was exceptional. A great dining experience.

We went to The Landing for brunch on Easter. Sat outside overlooking the harbor on a beautiful day. The food was excellent. I had corn beef hash. Others had Eggs Benedict and lobster roll. All were excellent. I could not have been happier with the experience.
