While limited, the (lunch) menu does have some intriguing selections. For the most part, the food was served in a timely fashion and with good presentation. My wife had the crab cake. It was very salty. I had the lobster roll, which was very good. Overall, I wound call the experience ‘decent’, if not average.

Portions have definitely changed here, although pricing stayed the same. We eat here often enough to see the difference. They are also using different rectangular plates to serve the meals vs the large round ones. Food is still delicious and our server, Emma, was great.
