    This eatery has views of the Merrimack River just before the confluence to the Atlantic Ocean. We ordered “Sage Advice” cocktails. They were perfectly balanced. The crab cake appetizer was very good. The arugula/red onion salad which accompanied the dish completed a lovely flavor profile. My palate was left refreshed. We ordered 1/2 bottle of Sancerre to pair with the Seared Scallop Maki. Wow! The creaminess of the fish was comforting and clean. House made wasabi elevated the dish. The Clam Linguine was very tasty. The Focaccia served as a tool to sop every last drop up. The Pumpkin Iced Cake was the grand finale. I was concerned the pumpkin flavor would be overwhelming. I was wrong. Holy moly! Try it.

    Nice staff, good cocktails and consistent food quality. Great menu variety, almost overwhelming but delicious. We had Oysters (they usually shuck them perfectly…one slurp), smash burger and lobster roll. Fun cocktail list too.

    First time visiting and won’t be my last! Everything was perfect (except the sushi chef being on vacation,which we totally understand!). I had the market fish (striped bass) and my friend had the New England haddock. Portions were great and everything was cooked perfectly. Jen our server was attentive and accommodating. Loved the vibe and can’t wait to go back.
