My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.

This was our first visit here and we were pleasantly surprised by everything this gem had to offer. Service by Kendall was genuine, sincere and always with a smile. Our dishes were exceptional and bursting with great flavors. The bruschetta was delicious and my chicken piccata was perfect. We will definitely be back!
