    When entering you’re in the middle of diners. No reception, finally a wait person came by and said someone would be with us. Wife’s mushroom pasta was very good. I ordered salmon, it was mushy and still raw inside but no one came by our table to check. After 30 minutes a totally different server came by. I asked for the bill, paid and left. Very disappointed experience. First bad I have written in years.

    In an iconic former Ringlong family homestead. Quaint and fabulous. Food is stellar and services even better. An icon.

    Our second trip here, and was very good once again. Shared a Scallop appetizer and a Caesar, both quite nice. Grouper and Shrimp Mozambique for entrees... very tasty and nice portions, perfectly cooked. Drank glasses of the house Chianti, which was very pleasant. Service was efficient, maybe too efficient, but we recognize that most diners at that early hour (including us) were heading to a show, so they make sure you get there. We will return!

    Superb meal and waitstaff! It was also good to see the restaurant was almost filled with patrons. It is a great re-vitalization of the previous excellent dining gem!
