Everything was just salty. From the fries to the soup to the fish. The chef got a little too happy springled the salt on all the food. We told the waiter but nothing was done. Not even an apology or “let me tell the chef”. It’s so hard to get the waiter’s attention. She was taking care of so many tables. Not going back again for sure.

Parker House rolls, goat cheese appetizer, duck breast and mushroom gnocchi are very tasty, . Duck had a bit of gristle and gnocchi didn’t need Brussels sprouts. Service is excellent.
