    Exceptional from the moment we walked in. The service was impeccable. This was our first visit. I wanted to go somewhere new and especially during this crazy time, wanted to support a local self owned restaurant. It didn't disappoint and I can not wait to go back. The appetizers, especially the mussels were extraordinary. The balance of all the entrees was incredible.... but you must save room for dessert. We had the dome. My husband was in heaven. A must go!!

    What a shame that this restaurant closed, perhaps due to Covid.

    We went on a Friday evening at 6:30. We were seated in the bar, which is rather small, considering there was a table for 4 and our table for 2 in addition to bar seating. The bar was directly behind my wife and was full with a few standees. The noise level was rather high due to the crowd and the small space. We ordered Manhattans, Caesar Salad and an Angus burger to split as we find that restaurant portions are generally much too large. The drinks were excellent as was the salad. The hamburg was ordered as "medium" but came without any pink in the center. The portions were as we expected. The server was very attentive and did and excellent job. Pricing was fair. Overall I would go back, but would prefer to be in the dining room because of the noise.

    This was our first time to this restaurant. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Overall we had an amazing experience. We met the owners and head chef and had a very nice conversation. The food was impressive and the ambiance was spot on for a quite dinner.

    They ignored our Open Table reservation and tried to put us at the bar. The service was almost comically poor but the food was awesome. Ultimately, I’m sure I will return. The great food and the chance to support a local business is enough for me to overlook the terrible and unprofessional service. Be warned though...they don’t care about the reservation you make at this site.
