    We chose the Oar House because we were a mature party of 6 who wanted somewhere to enjoy good food and be able to to hear each other in conversation. The Oar house fit the bill perfectly. Our server was friendly and accommodating but did not check back on us to see if we needed top offs on our drinks. My drink had long since gone dry before I was able to to flag him down. Aside from that it was a perfect lunch!

    While it did take a waiter to visit our table a good 15-20 minutes, once someone decided to take our table - everything was great!

    I had the filet with peppercorn sauce and my husband had the filet with cognac sauce and both were excellent. The filet was tender, cooked perfectly to order and full of flavor. The crème brûlée for dessert was delicious as well. It was the perfect anniversary celebration dinner!

    First time visiting this restaurant and we've lived in the area all of our lives. The ambiance was great- cozy, intimate, great for a date night. The front of house and bar staff were very friendly and customer oriented. Actual food service was a little slow, but they were slammed. The waitstaff were again, very nice and accomodating, and made up for the slowness. The food was average at best, and for the price, it just wasn't worth it. It's too bad as this place has everything else going for it.
