    Superior service. Superior food. Lobster roll, spring pea soup and mushroom pizza were outstanding. View is great too. My favorite restaurant for lunch or early evening meal.

    Always a good vibe. We sat at the bar to watch the PGA. The lobster roll was really good but the roll was a little on the sweeter side and it took away from how great the lobster was. Ordered a side of caviar fries - with no fires and topped the lobster roll with the caviar 😋🥰

    Great service in pretty setting. Order the big pretzel with fondue cheese sauce and mustard for dipping. So delicious great for 4 to share! Whipped mashed potatoes were so good we would order again. Had the white pizza which was great but can be on the bland side so if you want more add red pepper flakes and parmy.
