“First off, the star of the evening was our server Michelle! She’s a gem! It was our only restaurant during our vacation where service staff made us feel like they were truly welcoming us in and wanted us to have a great experience vs just going through the motions. Everyone had a genuine smile and seemed to love their jobs. The food and decor was just as fabulous. It really felt like a French bistro. The carrots were our favorite dish (recommended by Michelle) and the flourless chocolate torte was a close second. I don’t know how they got the skin so crispy on the chicken but I’ll be dreaming about it.”

“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!”

“It was one of the most relaxed dining experiences ever. The tables are about two feet away from each other-we all had room. We didn't have to hear other people talk. Our servers didn't have to play Tetris. It was July 3rd and the place was relaxed. Everyone was smiling. We got to eat some of the best French food I have ever had (I am a picky and non adventurous eater) ever. The Coq au Vin, Mediterranean chicken and steak frites were out of this world. Vermont Butter. I cannot tell you how much that made my cold dead heart feel nostalgic and joy and somehow understood. The wine was really reasonable priced as well and I feel that the restaurant chef or owner cares more for the diners than making money because quality of ingredients was stellar too.”

From the husband and wife who do an amazing job, to the food, this place is a diamond in the rough.

To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day.
