Next Door by Wegmans is one of my very favorite local restaurants. The sea bass was amazing as well as the tenderloin skewers. The mango cheesecake for two was spectacular and very creative. I think what I liked best was the elimination of the oil candles which were replaced by LED lamps. I’m very sensitive to smells and it was so nice not having those there anymore. I will be back again soon!

Overall had a great night! Our service was top notch. We ordered 3 apps & dinners. The clam casino app was tasty BUT in several of the clams was either sand or shell which was very unpleasant. The cocktail menu was “in process of being changed from fall to winter menu” which we thought was strange as it is clearly mid-December. Other than that the food was great.
