“The food was DELICIOUS, starting with the crab and chorizo corn chowder, the pasta-less beet ravioli was a neat and tasty dish too. Our steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and were flavorful and portioned nicely. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were top notch too. Service was exceptional, everyone seemed to love their jobs - lots of pride and professionalism. Absolutely satisfied and will be back.”

“Everything was amazing. Every aspect from all of our meals was absolutely cooked to perfection. The Bolognese was amazing as was the short rib. I make it a point to get duck when I go out because it's not something I often cook for myself and I was blown away by the flavor and textures. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion.”

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.”

“We had a fantastic lunch at Truly Pizza yesterday. Our waitress Anastasia was very kind and explained the options to two very confused Londoners. Her recommendations were fantastic. I went for the square base smoky vodka and I think it was probably the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time. Thank you”

“Very long wait times. Terrible customer service and overall, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The waiter messed up our order and argued with my wife about how he did not mess up the order and continued to argue with my wife, which further upset me and my parents. I asked the waiter to leave and requested to speak with the manager. I had explained everything to the manager and told the manager that because the food came out wrong and the waiter argued with my wife, that it was time to go because the waiter ruined our meal and our experience. After paying for 3 meals that we did not eat, the restaurant manager was extremely rude, told us to leave, and to never come back. We left very angry and upset. This restaurant ruined our entire afternoon. I do not recommend this restaurant because of the terrible customer service. If you make a mistake, own it, and make it right. Not the case here, they just want your money and send you on your way as fast as possible. If you’re looking for a nice dining experience there are far better options than this place.”

“I have been going to this hotel since the 1980s. It’s the best. My husband and I spent three new years eves there. We usually stay a week. Love it. I’ll be so happy when the rooms are available again. I can hardly wait. Love everything about it. The food is delicious. The patio is very enjoyable. And just a few steps to the beach. Love it. Thank you. I’m. Beverly. Anderson.”
