A little rocky from last experience there food wise. The brunch menu always sounds awesome by the execution of some of the dishes always seems off. Especially anything with crab meat. I picked multiple pieces of shell out of my omelette. Not what you’d expect for MML group establishments.

Our server Gabby was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and great to talk to. She timed the courses perfectly, reset our table with care, and gave excellent recommendations (the octopus was amazing!). Her service really made the experience enjoyable will definitely be back and hope to be served by her again!

Really lovely restaurant. Good seafood and wine list and a great range of yummy desserts. We had a super fun night with oysters, Mac & cheese, fish, steak and puddings. The staff were attentive - they even split our meals so we could share food and gave us good recommendations on wine pairing.

Overall, a very good experience. service was FANTASTIC. wait staff here is top notch (Alex and Mark!! awesome). unfortunately, my wife got a bad piece of swordfish… after living in Maine for 30 years, i should have said something when i caught a whiff of it as it was served, my bad, but please… that should not have been served! everything else was fantastic. my wife had 2 bites before sending back (no charge). That said, the oysters, the scallops, the cocktails (especially the one that Alex suggested) and the dessert (again suggested by Alex) were absolutely delicious. Thanks Mark for moving my bald head to another table!!
