What a super meal on a busy Saturday! All the food was great, albeit a little slow. We were treated like royalty for our anniversary by all: Aaron, Jennifer, Seron and the host (didn't get his name:( ) The menu has tasty choices for any palate. The wine suggestions were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed the bolognese and pot roast!

I've driven past this restaurant count less times, but this was my first dining experience. I found everything about it to be quite good. Cocktails were interesting and well-balanced. We enjoyed the short rib and the kofte, both recommended by our server. The side of Brussels sprouts was cooked to a pleasant crispiness and well seasoned. Would return.

It took 30 mins to bring us our drinks when we were there at 4:45 pm on a Sunday which was not crowded and we indicated we had theater tickets. Service continued to be slow, labored, and even a bit clumsy. Overall food was fine. They need to train their staff and move drinks from the bar quickly.

Beautiful building, mediocre food, poor service. It took 10 minutes for the server to show up and ask if we wanted water. Then 10 minutes to bring the water! No bread offered. We ordered the cocktails, apps, entrees at the same time. The apps showed up after 15 minutes before the cocktails. My Caesar salad was under dressed. My tuna entree had some sort of interminable sauce.

The food was excellent. Service was just ok. We had to ask for water and then for coffee even though the waiter knew we were seeing a show because he asked us. And it was very noisy

Sophisticated dining in an historic Brush Mill... So “New England-y” Our food was very good! The wait staff is friendly and efficient.

The halibut was delicious. Rice pilaf and mango avocado salsa pulled the whole dish together. Hats off to the chef. Waiter was attentive, but not over baring.

Wonderful dinner- Halibut and Tuna were delicious 😋. Service was excellent and the desserts made us extremely full! 🍰

We will try the bar, and have another go at this location with some appetizers and beer. Beautiful building and location. Looking forward to when the fireplace is lit. Service was very slow and awkward tonight.

This is an adorable spot. Great wine selection, one good thing after another on the menu. We would return.

From the greeting at the front desk to our waiter Jordon to the bartender who took time to offer us great options for after dinner drinks it was fantastic! Even the waiter who came by often to fill our water glasses was great!

This place was such a beautiful location and the restaurant was sooo nice! Unfortunately the service sucked. I took my date there and we had a 7pm reservation. The server didn’t seem to care about us because he didn’t take our drink order until 20 minutes in then we didn’t get the drinks u til 30 minutes later. We contemplated leaving many times but the reviews kept saying it was a good place. We then saw a table of older people seated and they got their drinks and food before us which was ridiculous. We didn’t get our appetizer until 8:10pm. And we did t get our entrees until 8:50pm. I really wish I could say the food was good but the halibut was overcooked and had too much salt and no flavor. The rice pilaf had zero work done to it. It was clumped and still raw. Mango salsa was good I will say. So we sadly will not recommend this place and most likely never return.
