This restaurant has a nice industrial hip vibe. It’s great for couples and groups. The food is always consistently prepared well and the quality of the food is very good. However, I would say that this past meal I had, which was the cod special with the noodles, had very little noodles. Usually the portions of the entree’s are larger.

Our servers Kenny and Brianna were excellent. They brought a lot of energy and definitely enhanced the dining experience. They both made recommendations that turned out to be on point. The apps were tremendous, tuna tartare and lobster dumplings. We also had the Halston roll and the Holiday roll which was a special, both were off the charts. Everyone enjoyed their entrees except the bronzing which I was told was dry and an overall swing and a miss. The scampi and ribs were delicious. The PB&J desert was ridiculous.

Food is out of this world. It took exceptionally long to get our food however. We arrived at 6:30 and did not get our food till almost 8. Noise level was a bit loud but we could still talk at our table. Waitress was friendly and prompt. I particularily appreciated how often our water was filled.

We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
