    Service is slow and waitstaff not attentive. Do not recommend for a business lunch; you will wait an hour for food to be brought to the table.

    Menu is very limited, and prices are high ($28 for a cheeseburger that was fine but marred by a limpid cold English muffin). Upstairs dining room in the evening is like a morgue. A glass of a nice Bordeaux red was compromised by being served at too warm a temperature.

    I loved the lobster dumplings. Delicious and lovely presentation. The Salmon was delicious although slightly overcooked and the Mocktail with Blackberry shrub syrup was fabulous. I will be back.. it’s a great quiet place to catch up with friends and have great food and service.

    The roasted chicken on a bed of farro, mushroom & butternut squash was so delicious! the perfect pairing. The Branzino was also good. However, the steaks were overcooked.. not something you can fix.
