Ordered the pear ricotta appetizer. It was horrible. The meal took 45 minutes to come out. The pork chop was well cooked and very tasty as were the scallops. The prices were very high and as a result will not return.

I’ve been wanting to eat here for a while, but never had the opportunity until today. The food, service and atmosphere were all amazing. I had a burger and fries, but it was not your “basic” burger. It was fabulous! My friend had the lobster roll and enjoyed it too!

The food is good, the service is very good but the NOISE is unbelievable. The sound system is so loud that there is no such thing as a quiet conversation and the most frequent comment is “What did you say?”

Love the food here and the service. We come here for all our special occasions throughout the year. Came for new year’s dinner and the food was wonderful, although really disappointed because all was barely warm- even the soup was close to room temperature 🤒

Was sat outside (reservation was for inside) next a heater so it was extremely hot. Was told if we wanted to sit inside it would be an additional hour wait. Food was exceptional but management of seating sucked!

Extermely noisy inside. Music is too loud causing patrons to talk loudly. People at table next to us asked for music to be turned down. Another person came up to our waitress and asked for music to be turned off.
