What a wonderful meal. We started with the Fig special and the artichokes. Both were very good. My son ordered the cod. It was delicious. I ordered the beef and it was cooked to perfection. The sauce was unique. My husband ordered a seafood with linguini special. He really enjoyed it. We saved room for dessert and ordered the brownie al a mode with peanut butter ice cream and wow!! It was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was so efficient and vet friendly. Just a wonderful experience. Compliments to the chef!!
Amazing experience as the service was impeccable and the food delicious! Such a beautiful spot by the roaring fire and watching the ocean just steps away! Highly recommend. Best salmon I’ve had in a long time I can’t say enough about the service- so accommodating!
