    My wife and I joined friends for dinner at House 406. I had never been there before. My wife had been there once before and our friends had not been there for a long time. We were all impressed. I had the Whitefish, which was excellent, but may have had a bit too much Horseradish-Parmesan sauce on it. My wife had the Salmon and she loved it. Our friends both had the burger, which looked awesome and they said that it was. We were very impressed with the Onion Rings -- delicious! Service was good, not great. The noise level increased greatly as more tables were filled. House 406 is now on our radar. We will be back so I can try the burger!
