Three people in our party enjoyed the quiet ambience and cool live jazz guitar on Saturday. Our waiter, Brian, took great care of us. We didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed a relaxing evening. I would highly recommend the salmon with the house salad, my friends enjoyed the (real) lobster Mac and cheese. Definitely going back.

Waiter was wonderful, but inexcusably over-worked. 15 minute wait for drinks. Menu was nothing more than a glorified Applebees. Burgers, wings, dips, and salads, with a duck confit thrown in??? Quite a change from our visit a year ago. Probably not returning.

We are sorry that you had to wait longer than expected for your drinks and we will definitely discuss this with our team. It is unfortunate that you were so disappointed in the menu.
