I wanted a cozy Christmas Eve supper with my sister, and it was pretty much that! We sat in the back of the restaurant, near where I assume the summer seating would open onto a patio; it was quite light and bright with the afternoon sunshine. Not too cold, not too warm, though it was from a sensory perspective over whelming to sit at a table that had one seat positioned at the open doors (my sister was kind enough to switch seats with me). The staff responded to our requests without too much issue. I enjoyed the cream of crab soup, what a warm hug of a dish; honestly, a solid warm sourdough chunk would have paired perfectly. The wedge salad was a bit busy, but you can't go wrong with the flavors. The Mac and Cheese side was... I'll be honest, it was better the next day after reheating it and adding some nutmeg, but a solid dish nonetheless. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu.

The service was great and the food was delicious, particularly the cream of crab soup. We had the brunch menu, and it was a great variety of breakfast, lunch, and exquisite entrees.

Overall very good. Food was good and Service was great ( Julien). Was just a bit too loud…very difficult to have a convo…one very loud table. We were on the porch so maybe that’s an issue. The corkage charge is a good deal…reason to return but would sit inside.

Met a friend for a holiday lunch. Even calling a week early, I couldn’t get Noon reservation; I got one at 11:30. We watched the place fill up. Looked like many holiday parties. Given the crowd, the staff did a good job with service. My friend had the seafood Cobb salad and a cup of crab soup. I had the turkey burger, which came with fries. All Of the food was delicious as nd served at the right temperature, an accompaniment when the place is so crowded. We will return.
