Very nice place with good food, pianist and friendly bar tender and servers. Easy street parking. Everyone enjoyed their meals - salmon, chicken, veggie burger and pork chop. We will definitely do it again!

Food was delicious, Brian was excellent per usual. Bummed that the lobster mac is going away but the chicken gorgonzola was awesome and we’re looking forward to seeing the new menu!

Our server was great. Drinks were strong. Food was delicious. Piano was at the perfect volume to still have a conversation at the table. I would definitely like to come back and stay at the hotel connected to the restaurant.

Only three tables served, so everything was slow-motion. Fairly good, new server; other staff were not at all welcoming. Salads are large, but lobster mac small portion at $17.50 was very small indeed. Chicken entrée was good-sized, well prepared. Prices are a bit high: $90 with tax and tip for basic meal without dessert.

Best staff ever. Felt like I was catching up with my family, they were all so kind, conversational and hospitable. Drinks were perfect (ask the bartender Shawn about his artwork). Food was decadent and full of flavor. I highly recommend this place.

Three people in our party enjoyed the quiet ambience and cool live jazz guitar on Saturday. Our waiter, Brian, took great care of us. We didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed a relaxing evening. I would highly recommend the salmon with the house salad, my friends enjoyed the (real) lobster Mac and cheese. Definitely going back.
