We had a great meal this Labor Day weekend. The drunken clams with sausage and mushrooms was amazing. Great ambience and wonderful staff made the evening enjoyable

It was a nice experience, barring a few tweaks they could make. This is coming from a family who eats out often. More than 3x a week. Thankfully they were open to change our reservation time. The hostesses get an A+ for smiles and energy. Our server Kristine was reserved, and not particularly happy. Hopefully, it was just the day. They were swamped. The salmon in their salmon salad was dry, as was the chicken in the Chicken Chop dinner salad. The coating of sesame/ poppy was so thick we had to waste salmon not to eat it. On an antiflamatory diet, thats bad. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. Hopefully, you have a better experience.

Been here a few times and can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is always very good no matter what time you go. Food is pricey but good food isn’t cheap.

We had the Cobb and chopped salads which were very delicious from the crisp fresh greens to the tasty bacon pieces and the dressings were both very flavorful and not heavy. Cocktails also were great.

Food was good. Served in a reasonable time and hot. We all received what was ordered. No mistakes. Service has been better. Staff seemed a little overwhelmed and disorganized. We have eaten here several times and service was always good
