The Caesar salad and salmon were great! Spouse‘s seafood platter (scallops, shrimp and salad) was done perfectly. He raved over the thousand island dressing (which is made in-house). The scones were so yummy that we bought six to take home! An overall wonderful experience! Note that the restaurant is upstairs… the setting is lovely!”
