    Party of two we each got the 4-course meal option with a seafood focus + a bottle of Cakebread chardonnay + bottle of still water + 20% tip = $442. The food was phenomenal and properly portioned so you can finish all 4 courses and a couple glasses of wine. Skip lunch just to make sure. The Halibut main dish was cooked to perfection. The ambience is perfectly dimly lit, modern rustic, with a low background level of trip hop/ lounge libations. Memorable for sure...

    From beginning to end we had a great experience. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive without being invasive. Our meals were delicious. The over the top holiday decorations made for a festive setting.

    Hidden gem!! Our first choice from now on. Every dish was sublime. Very attentive wait staff. No waiting on a Saturday evening. White Linens! And they use sustainable boxes and bags for taking home the leftovers. We only had appetizers. Each was a meal! Steak cooked perfectly. Great ambience. Specials and extensive beer and wine choices. This is not just an event venue. Absolutely lovely. Plenty of gluten free offerings.

    This restaurant, tucked into the Spruce Point Inn, was very good. Service was outstanding and the ambience was nice, though there was a strong musty smell to the room, probably from the thick carpet. The prices were higher than we usually pay but the food was worth the extra treat.
