Loved this place! Very friendly bartender who made awesomely yummy Old Fashioneds and in a cozy and quaint little atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.
Clam chowder was thick like gravy. Salmon was really good! I was looking fwd to my soup, so this was a disappointment. Atmosphere & service were excellent.
Great service and kindness.
