    A cold January day and a bright warm spot to enjoy a scrumptious lunch with friends. The comments around the table were in unison about the salads and dressing, the Hall of Fame chowder and swordfish Reuben sandwich. What a great meal.

    We had the duck and the surf & turf. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly! The meals were also hot served on a warm plate on a very cold night. They also serve warm bread with garlic and oil on the side that was very good. We'll be back!

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
