    We live off Cape so only get to visit every now and then. Been coming here for years but this was our first time since renovations! Beautiful! Food was great and can’t wait to come back and sit at the bar!

    On this Saturday night the noise level was so high as to preclude normal conversation. The bar and dining room share one large space. This is not the place for anyone looking for a quiet dinner. The prices for entrees are high. We ordered three appetizers. The fig and Brie flatbread was a winner. The Goose fries and Brussel sprouts came out (barely) lukewarm. On the positive side service was excellent, very attentive. Good for those looking for a lively bar scene.

    We lunch three days in a row at your restaurant. We love your place. The food and vibe are amazing! Today, however, we felt your servers were less than enthusiastic. A noticeable difference in this team.

    Overwhelmed restaurant - they forgot part of our order, undercooked another, and took forever to come.

    We ate outside, which was very nice. We could watch the world go by on Main Street on a beautiful day. Our food was excellent.

    Our server was great. Food was very good. Disappointed to see that we were charged extra for ordering a martini 'up'. Why? No one could explain this. We've been here for several days and have never encountered this before.

    Hi Barbara, we're very glad you enjoyed the service and the food. We will absolutely look into our computer system to see if something has been incorrectly entered. Thank you again and we hope you will consider joining us again in the future.
