   The food was outstanding. The service was great. It is a cozy place with not much room between tables. It was a bit pricey for the amount of food received. That being said, we did fill up and have leftovers. It was a place we'd like to go back to, when they hopefully have their outdoor seating with warmer weather. Lastly, make a reservation. Watched no less than 10 people get told they were fully booked for the night while we were only there for an hour and a half.

   Fine dining it is not. Maybe doing the flights could be fun, but for a meal for $200. Nope. I have had far better for less. And bit crammed in a small space. (If someone sneeze last you have what eve they have). With flavors that are far far better. Risotto with scallops was drenched in sauce. Looked like some fettuccini. The potatoes and carrots were the saving grace of the Gorgonzola steak. Maybe outside in summer for some flights. But not really for me. Married to a chef who can do it at home far better.

   Great service - the martini drink flight was amazing. Disappointed in the shrimp flight - I had it before and it was delicious. Tonight is was very overcooked.

   The concept is smart and was executed well for both drinks and apps. However, the dinner flights are overpriced for what you receive. Additionally, the restaurant is far too small for the amount of tiny tables they pack in. There isn’t physically enough room on a table for two to place two dinner flight plates. The kitchen had issues with apps and both dinners we ordered. Our waitress was wonderful and the bartender mixed delicious cocktails. We would go back for a pre dinner drink and app, but nothing more.

   Food was decent but overpriced. Flights were nice and a fun change from normal dining. Service was good. The lighting is horrible. So dim inside that it’s difficult to read the small print on the menu. What I really disliked the most was the seating. You are seated so close to other tables that if you reached you arm out to the left or right you would touch another patron. We had to walk sideways between the tables to sit and you are seated so close that you can easily hear the conversations of anyone seated next to you. That completely ruined it for me and I will not be going back.

   The restaurant is cute & cozy inside, but the music was too loud for the space. Bar area is very small, and tables are close together. The selections for flights are varied but the prices are too high for the portion sizes. The shocker was the dessert flight special which was 3 shortcakes…it was 3 individual sponge cakes with fruit and whip cream (each one bite) for $25!! The service was friendly, but very slow and food does not come out a the same time. It was nice to try a new place in Putnam, but there are many better options in this restaurant “rich” town! We probably won’t return.

   We were told that they were short staffed the night we were there. The drinks took a long time, and the server forgot our request for more bread. There was only a choice of one IPA. The one they had was very good. One beer was $12, which we felt was pricey. My partner is vegetarian and there were only a couple choices for him. The Vegan flight was very good. Sometimes vegetarian/vegan foods are lacking spice and flavor but this was not the case here. We probably won’t be back because of the lack of choices, high prices and crowded seating.

    Our waitress was outstanding but the kitchen timing was off. Two guest's meals came out together, mine came after they were about 1/2 way through their meals. Waitress was great, apologized for the delay, said the kitchen was having some issues and she gave us a free dessert flight. Wish the space was larger. We had 3 people but were seated at a table for 2 with a chair pulled up on the side that was partially in the lane to the kitchen.
