Always good. Lovely lunch on a cold dreary winter day.

We have been twice this week, so I am putting the two visits together. Probably won't keep that pace but enjoyed it the first time and still had other things in the menu that we wanted to try. If you are a traditionalist, get the lobster roll if it is a special. It is a real New England lobster roll no odd adds. The pumpkin bisque was amazing and could have been a meal in itself with an order of hush puppies as an appetizer. The chickens, both Kelly's favorite and pecan crusted were both great and the white wine steamed muscles were a winner. We ended both meals with the bread pudding also worth having. We will be going back.

Had a delightful meal and we could hear each other talk!

This was my first visit here and I chose it because of its gluten free options, which they had more than average. Everything we ordered was delicious. The fire shrimp appetizer, the lobster bisque, the lamb chops, the crab cakes, the potatoes au gratin, and the star, the flourless chocolate cake. I didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly blown away and I can’t wait to come back here the next time I am in town. The service was a little spotty and slow but like I said, I’ll be back and can’t wait to try more gf items! What a gem in the middle of Fairfax!

The only negative was the noise level. The music could have been turned down given rhe number of patrons present.
