    What a lovely evening! The setting could not have been more perfect for a pre Christmas dinner with friends. Pretty table settings in a beautifully decorated room overlooking the water and the firepits along the lawn with Christmas lights throughout.. Our waiter was professional, courteous and knowledge. The Haddock was a huge piece and delicious as was as the sides. We were so full no one had room for dessert. We will definitely be back.
