    Food was very good. The tables are too close together. There is barely room to get between two tables to the bench seating and due to the close proximity, we were sprayed by another dinner’s lemon as they were squeezing it on their fish. Our server forgot to bring our bread out and seemed to overlook our table often. The grilled chicken with goat cheese was fabulous tasting!

    Consistently good food. Usually we experience very prompt service however we seemed to wait a long time -even though our orders were placed before most of the other tables. My flounder was excellent and perfectly done.

    I’d say to seat small tables every other table when possible to provide more ambience. If you have an annoying patron next to you, you have to hear them all night. Service from our waitress was slow and fairly unattended.

    Seems like more tables have been added and it was extremely crowded with constant movement around us. The noise level was so loud we couldn't carry on a conversation. And, the service wasn't as good as usual.
