Young waitstaff not very attentive, forgot several things. Food was ok but not great with the exception of the lamb and the pasta was delicious. Otherwise both chicken and fish were dry. Would not return.

Great dinner with our daughters and her friends while visiting Colby (Go mules!). Oysters were excellent and salads are huge. Filet was good and chicken dishes were all excellent. Really liked the green beans as well. Nice wine options by the glass or bottle. Nice place not too far from campus.

Lovely place with a lovely atmosphere and a great menu with lots of options. Loved the French onion soup and the chocolate mousse, and the drinks were so fun and festive :) would come again!
