    Delightful setting. Samuel, our waiter, was attentive and helpful. At his suggestion, we had the honeydew soup which was outstanding. A new place for us to stop next time we are in PS.

    We were too seated too close to a very vocal person who had a very loud voice. It was extremely irritating and the (Restaurant) didn’t need to hear all of his stories.

    The restaurant had rude and inconsiderate locals in it being loud and obnoxious. The manager chose to do nothing about it, ruined our dinner experience and then she had nothing to say to us and could care less if we came back. So BEWARE if your first or second or third timers. our server was excellent and trying to do the best to manage a really horrible situation. I am so disappointed that adults act like this. Screaming across the restaurant, screaming across the tables and acting like they own the place running around their tables conversing with everyone. The Restaurant should’ve moved them so they were all together with their party. Instead, the restaurant chose to treat other customers poorly.  A comped dessert would’ve been nice not even that was not offered, let alone and apology when we left.  The dinner service was also incredibly slow.

    There were four of us dining and one of us took advantage of Restaurant week; which consisted of 3 courses for $61.00. Great value. I had the Chinese Calamari appetizer, short ribs, and carrot cake. All Good! My companions had the meat loaf which was excellent also. Two of them did a split, which they gave extra sides which made their portions very generous. Sat under that beautiful old tree in the patio. So magical with the lights in the trees. And even though it’s almost summer, the patio was very comfortable.
