Server seemed new… maybe first day? She did well, but obviously wasn’t as familiar with the menus etc as one might expect. Food was mostly good… nice starters… my main complaint was that the meat was all expertly handled and perfectly cooked, while the veg seemed like an afterthought. I had a delicious piece of short rib, but I almost snapped my knife in half trying to cut through a carrot. The main part of the dish is the meat (delicious), but the veg that came with it was not really even warm, and mostly under-blanched. Remember that the veg on a meat dish is a supporting element that needs to prop up the dish… this time it let it down. That being said, we had a nice meal and everyone left happy. We’ll be back again.

We had a great experience! Our waitress was outstanding and very helpful without being over bearing. The food was fantastic - we would go again in a heartbeat. We had between us all 2 pizzas, the salmon and burger. We also had the shrimp , oysters and crocchette starter. The cheesecake was light and fluffy for dessert! All were delicious!

Thank you Sandra, all excellent things to hear. Looks like you guys hit all the right spots on the menu, the shrimp is always one of our best selling appetizers, and Chef Shawn's cheesecake always has people coming back for more!
