    Friendly and attentive waitress. Nice sized portions. A couple could definitely share an appetizer. The entrees are also a generous size and very tasty. We were there in the off-season, so, the restaurant wasn’t that busy. The hostess chose to place all the guests in the same room; filling up all the tables. As a result, the noise level was a bit higher and it felt crowded. We would have preferred that they opened up the adjacent room and spread guests out a bit more. Other than that, all was fine.
