We arrived in town and had made a reservation for early evening. We were seated immediately by the window and ordered drinks. The server was attentive and made great suggestions for food and drink. The warm mushrooms salad was very tasty. The scallops and grits and the salmon dish were amazingly delicious and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend visiting this fine dining establishment. More

This was our first time eating here as it recently opened. My wife and I were accompanied by our two adult children. Our first impression from the street is that it looked like a diner that may have been closed as there was very little lighting inside and not much signage outside other than the large "Sam's" sign. Upon closer inspection we saw the menu in the window and a small sandwich board sign outside indicating we were in the right place. We promptly greeted by their very friendly hostess who invited us to have a seat. I mentioned it was very dark as they had most of the lights shut off to try and give it a different vibe from the diner atmosphere. I think they would benefit from having some other soft lighting to give it a better ambiance for their customers. It was around 7:00 on a Friday night and there was only one other table with customers seated so it was very quiet. We started out with the vegetarian platter which consisted of hummus, falafel, pickled turnips with honey mustard sauce and pita. The falafel was among the very best we have had. The rest was excellent and made for a great combination of flavors. For our mains, two of us had the the Mediterranean spiced shrimp and the others had blackened salmon - one with pasta and the other with vegetables. The hostess recommended the pasta and she was correct - it was very delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the shrimp had great flavor. We were not disappointed!! The portion sizes were large and the meal was very filling. The service was excellent and our hostess kept our water glasses filled and made sure we had everything we needed. As we were rather full from our meal we did not order any dessert but the chef came out and brought us a plate of Baklava. Our daughter noted it was the best she had ever tasted. By the time we left, we were all very impressed and this restaurant exceeded our initial expectations! They deserve top ratings for food and service!! More

Went for Mother's day event, but ordered off the menu. We thought there was a "brunch", but were incorrect. Unfortunately, the full menu we had looked at online was not available. There was a four course "special" for $48.50, but was not what we were looking for. We had never been there and are glad we tried it. Our service was outstanding. More
