I had not been to this restaurant in several years. The decor has changed-very nice. The menu did have some of the previous items, in addition to some what I would describe as”pub-style” selections. I had the bourbon glazed sucking pig whic was probably the most delicious piece of pork I ever had. My friend enjoyed the halibut immensely. Our dessert, which we shared, was the S’mores item. It was a really different take on this classic. Absolutely delicious and a unique way of serving it in a small iron skillet. Our servers were delightful. Attentive without being intrusive. Very glad I returned to this restaurant. Will be back.

Brad was the best! He recommended the fish taco for Joe which were wonderful! I had the Drunken Clams and they were great … and the bread was “grilled” or whatever and it was delicious compared to the regular bread that has been served with the Drunken Clams! Once again thanks for a great night🙃
