    10 out 10 recommend.... The entire experience was overwhelming amazing. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I must start with the bread an assortment of delicious baked soft bread with olive oil. The crab cakes were moist paired with a pumpkin/squash hash ... Everything melted in my mouth. . We also had dessert. My husband and I now have a favorite restaurant..

    Excellent, friendly service from initial greeting through wait staff. Lobster appetizer and crab cakes were delicately seasoned and very nice. Adequate table space so that we didn't feel too crowded. Fine place for birthday celebration with my husband.
