Hits all the tight notes. Ambiance is very bistro, service is pleasant and personable without being over bearing. And the good is, well, worth at least an...

Small place. Definitely recommend making a reservation. When we visited, there were only reservations left for the bar, unless we wanted to dine after 7:30....

Amazing the food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was exceptional. I had the mussels for an appetizer, I got the haddock special as an entree, and...

5 star food and 5 star service is what this fantastic local restaurant is! Yes, it's out of the beaten way, but what an impressive shop window of the mouthwater plates and great time cocktails that go to this place! Whether you are nearby or just drive through Interstate 495, you need to check this place! No joke, if they say, please reserve as this place is always packed! For our first experience we have made a leap of faith and dared without reservations! WE GOT LUCKY and so glad we did as we waited a short time, on some craft cocktails in a small bar area in the back of the restaurant facing the kitchen. We were super satisfied with the range of apps available and the options of the specials of the night! We went GAGA with the Blue Cheese Srumptious App and the Lobster Ragoons! The dessert is made in the house so make sure you place for the DELICIOUS carrot cake with a side made of house ice cream! We can't wait back!!

Update: a year later and I think it was the best food I ever had in the last 10-20 years! Really a 5 star food. We had lobsters and shrimps Risotto and both were amazing. Quality is the best I had in months! What an amazing find. My meal had 7(! different vegetables in it. Wow! I ordered a large part and it was too much food for me, should have gone with a small (regular part). We paid a little less than $60 for both of us.
