The noise level kept this from being a stellar review. It made it an unenjoyable meal as the 6 of us yelled at one another the entire meal. The food is exemplary!! Service excellent! The live entertainment was barely audible amid the noise and therefore just added to the noise level. Restaurants now seem to all have wood flooring, hard walls and no way to absorb noise. An otherwise perfect experience.

Second time my wife and I went there in the month, their food is warm and inviting! The Service both times was terrific and very attentive. Love the "salt box cozy vibe", and they have live entertainment with a talented singer. I would go back again soon, rememeber that it's a BYOB. So come prepared with your favorite wine and drinks that mnakes it affordable. Value was very good. They always make you feel welcomed and the servers smile. Try and get inside the dinning room, their outside porch seating was nice. But try and go inside. Nice winter hangout... never felt rushed!
