What a delightful dinner experience! We arrived early to our reservation and we were seated immediately. Our server Spencer was attentive, friendly, funny, and professional. Absolutely loved the bread and the delicious dipping oil, as well as the side salad that came with our entrees. The scallop dish was wonderful- scallops seared perfectly, but my favorite part was the risotto- WOW! My friend loved her cauliflower steak dish (as did I from the bites I borrowed from her plate). We just arrived into town for a shopping/spa getaway and this was a wonderful welcome to this charming town. We will be back!

Good food and service Getting pricy for dinner and a bottle of wine One salmon portion was nice the other kind of small for $35 Automatic gratuity of20% added to bill for party of six. I’m fine with 20% if service is good but to start at20% seems wrong. What if service is bad, can you ask them to reduce the gratuity? On top of that they at 4% if you want to use a credit card. For upscale pricy restaurants with higher margin, charging to use your credit card seems excessive to me
