Very good food and bistro/grill decor. Wait staff were functionally okay, but with flat, unengaged demeanor. Overall vibe was subdued.

Everything was wonderful! As others have mentioned, the crab cakes are some of the best we’ve ever had. The salmon and pork were perfectly cooked. The owner spent several minutes talking with us. Overall a great experience which we intend to repeat on every visit to the area.

Swordfish was cooked perfectly. Fresh pasta was great. The carrot ginger coconut soup (du jour) was amazing. Staff was great and friendly. We’re definitely coming back.
