   From the moment we entered, the service and dining experience was friendly and flawless. The hostesses were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. We opted for a short wait for window seating, and went to the very busy bar where we were immediately acknowledged by the bartender who passed us a menu and took our order shortly after. Our table became available before we had paid for our drinks and the bartender told us not to worry and would transfer the bill to our table. Our server Colin greeted us as we were seated, and informed us that he was “in training” but let us know that an “experienced” server would be backing him up. Colin needed no help. His “backup” was there to add details of spices, sauces and liquors add to food preparations of which he was very well informed and also extremely personable. As a party of four we ordered the Butternut Squash Baba Ganoush Appetizer with house-made pita. It was excellent. The Biscuits with ham were also perfection. Light, buttery and flaky. Our next course was fresh Maine oysters, Clam chowder, and Simple salads. All fresh and delicious. Our entrees were 2 “Holiday Specials” which were served family style. One was a Bone In Cowboy Steak served with spicy fried Broccolini and Twice Baked Potatoes. The second Entrees was a Fried Rainbow Trout served with Lettuce Leaves, Shishito Peppers, Rice and Beans and 2 sauces ( one sweet and tangy and the other a Buffalo Sauce). Both entrees were excellent, but the fried trout was so unusual and spectacular, that I would return just to have it again. Our desserts included the Strawberry Shortcake and Bourbon Bacon Apple Pie a la mode. Both excellent, but the strawberry shortcake was exceptionally good and different. The wine list is excellent. The overall atmosphere is casual, but there is nothing casual about the food, service or management of this excellent restaurant.

   Food was pretty good. Service was not professional. Many young kids not really knowing how to serve people at these prices. Chairs uncomfortable, table small, pretty loud. Menus mostly of fish, pork and a few other things. Not much choice. Can’t figure what they specialize in. Expensive but you don’t feel you are in an expensive restaurant. Not going again.

   Nice location and ambience. This is a BBQ joint with a limited menu. We were looking for a more refined, higher end restaurant.

   The food was phenomenal. Service was good. The dining room was extremely warm. We will definitely return, but will be wearing layers to shed.

   El servicio malísimo. El mesero decidió interpretar lo que ordenamos, trajo todo mal y tardó 50 minutos en traer el primer plato

   Food was amazing and loved the service and decor. Place was loud and could've used some more sounds dampening.

   A bit disappointing. The online reservation asked if we were celebrating anything, and I had said yes, a birthday. Also let the server know. Nothing was said or done. Asked for my tritip medium well. He said they only did medium or well. Went with medium. It was rare at best. Ambience and energy are good.

    Our server was paying more attention to the larger tables and busy chatting at the hostess table. I got charged for club soda when I asked for sparkling water. Definitely disappointed overall, my food was not enjoyable.
