The food was great but it was a little drafty. Not really sure that was fixable but I wasn’t even near the front door and I was cold. I’m being picky. Everything else was great.

Amazing food, amazing food service. Only issue was being seated by the front door when it was super cold outside, despite a number of tables in the back of the restaurant (aka warm) being available.

We were very impressed with our server, who was very attentive, helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was very good, indeed the pan seared Haddock was exceptional. However, the room was so dark that all of us kept using our phone flashlights to see the menu and the food enters when they would arrive. When you can't enjoy seeing the food you are eating, the ambiance or mood lighting is TOO DARK.

The food and service were great, but the noise was so loud it was difficult to have a conversation. That said, we’ll go back.

One of the best servers / service we have had all year. Looked like a good value happy hour at the Bar only. The Pasta dishes were amazing. The pizza was very good, but not as good as the pasta. The bread was also great.
