   OpenTable allowed me to reserve this restaurant but when we got there, the restaurant was closed. No signs of anyone working.

   They posted on Facebook that they were closing on 1/1/2023, but they were already closed on 12/28! We got to the restaurant to find all the outdoor umbrellas overturned and the restaurant locked up and dark. There wasn’t even a sign on the door saying they were closed. We were super disappointed. My husband and I had to scramble to find another restaurant at the last minute to celebrate our special occasion. Why tell people you are closing on 1/1 if you intend to close early? And why take reservations?!!

   Nice outdoor meal on a weeknight. The large outdoor space is great, and there are sufficient heaters as long as it's not too cold out. We had the butternut squash salad, which was excellent, as was the salmon main dish. The salmon was perfectly cooked.

   Great restaurant - outside dining is charming with plenty of heaters and umbrellas. Menu is an excellent size - not too big but with plenty of choices for both starters and mains. Lamb shank and shepherd's pie were excellent!

   this is a lovely location and the aquarium in the dining room adds to the overall sense of serenity. Our waiter was responsive attentive and helpful. The food was beautifully presented and very well prepared, interesting flavors and textures all of which worked very well. Overall, very good experience.

    First time here since Bumble left the area. Food was spectacular, starting with the fresh bread when we sat down. Could have made a meal out of it alone! Only drawback was the long wait for our entrees. But we were told one of the ovens was down at the moment and they were trying to play catchup with the orders. Not their fault. The whole staff was truly wonderful! We ate indoors but the outdoor dining area is tremendous...very large for a small restaurant. All entrees were amazing. The crunchy chocolate layer cake was a masterpiece. Will DEFINITELY return as often as possible!
