Restaurants near The Barnum Museum

Everything was exceptional. The service, the food, etc

party of four and we sat in an unusually high cushioned bench seat booth. That aside, the food was delicious. We tried the chard broccolini, Caesar salad, the halibut dish with chard corn, lamb chop Lollipops and every last dish was delectable. A multitude of flavors that all blended well. both owners, Wesley and Damon, the chef, Came out to inquire, however everything was. All servers tended to the tables which gave the feeling that we were being taken excellent care of. Five stars !!

Everything about our dinner was outstanding, from the greeting at the check-in desk through dessert. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The food is creative and very delicious.

The ambient soundtrack, not heavy metal or rap but I caught Jon Bon Jovi in ther, tells you something about this restaurant’s schizophrenic identity. The menu is almost excessively wide-ranging, from wings to lobster, in an sattempt to appeal to all comers, yet the prices invite a somewhat higher-incomed clientele. The interior is hardscaped, with no sound-absorbing fabric in sight(except the napkins) amidst the poured flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows and granite tabletops. The service was accomodating but slow at obvious transition points in the progression of the meal. Our order: appetizer of calamari was plentiful, oddly(for me) sprinkled with gorgonzola and drizzled with balsamic but delicious; an ahi tuna salad ( beautifully presented) and a clam and bacon flatbread that seemed a bit overdone/crispy. Two proseccos, a glass of pinot grigio and a bill of $120…. I want to try this location on a summer evening when there’s outdoor dining and enough light to enjoy the harborviews. Otherwise, it is not a top choice in several categories

It was good. I enjoyed myself. Always great celebrating with the people I love.
