This is my new favorite restaurant. Love the charming rustic decor. I feel like we’re in the Pennsylvania countryside when we’re here. The service is phenomenal, the server and the support staff are there whenever you need them. Very friendly and attentive. Now, the food. Absolutely delicious. Best rice balls ever. Honestly, I never liked rice balls until these. Crispy, cheesy delicious! All the salads are exquisitely composed. The way the greens are sliced and perfectly dressed. We had the tricolore with roasted butternut squash (finely chopped) with crispy shallots and cider vinaigrette. I’d had the halibut with lobster cream sauce and lump crab last week, which was a large fresh piece of flaky moist fish. Someone at the next table had the shrimp scampi and I already knew I had to try it this time. It was without question, not even close, the best shrimp scampi of my 50 years. The sauce was the perfect combo of wine lemon and butter. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Oh, the Brussel sprouts side is also a standout. Dessert, don’t bother looking at the menu- just get the graham cracker gelato with a cappuccino, You’ll thank me later; I promise.

Very attentive service. Our server was Chris. He was excellent. There was an issue with my entree and he and the owner bent over backwards to offset the problem and make the dinner a positive and memorable one. We look forward to returning.

I booked a table for two. Our table was a long table and we were separated by the couple right next to us by poinsettia plant. I would rather have had a table just for the two of us rather than sharing table cafeteria style . Also, we seated next to a party of six who are very loud-the entire upstairs was empty- so we could have sat at ANY other table. Food and service were amazing .

First time guests at this restaurant and we could not have been more satisfied. We sat upstairs in a well maintained room. The service was polite and well informed. My wife had a piece of sole and I enjoyed the chicken piccata w broccoli rabe… was delicious. We also shared roasted calamari as an appetizer that was tender and just great. Highly recommend!
