    Ambiance very clean! Our server (sorry I didn’t keep her name) took care of me and my family and was very pleasant. Good food and portioning is huge. Will certainly come back when in-town and recommend to friends.

    The Kale and Beet Salad was tasty, my Bunless burger was cooked just right, Garlic Fries had plenty of Garlic. The Clam Chowder was better than expected, sister's burger was a little overcooked. Took home the Cheesecake and flourless Chocolate cake, both were pretty good.

    We were attending an event nearby and chose the restaurant primarily based upon location. But we were pleasantly surprised about how it surpassed our expectations in all regards. The food and drinks were expertly prepared. The service was friendly and unpretentious. The atmosphere was cozy and low key. And the prices were extremely reasonable. I would definitely go back!

    Variety of options from salads, sandwiches, and entrees, and a fair amount of veggie/vegan options. Service was great. Overall the restaurant has a great vibe.
