Always have a great meal here. Came with friends from Mass and we were unable to eat on the patio. It was a humid day so inside was good too. The a/c was perfect for my friends who are always cold. She did not need he sweater. Our server, Monica, was excellent. She checked on us often without interruption. I find that 3pm reservations are really a great time. The customers were spaced well so conversation was easy to hear. Overall it was a very relaxing meal with old friends.
