Very pleasant meal with great chowder and even better service. I dropped a fork on the floor and within 10 seconds, clean cutlery was at my place. Thank you.

Everything we ate was just great! Spinach artichoke dip was quite a big portion and its meant for sharing between 3-4 people. The tuscan chicken had nice touch of spices, it was tender also creamy. The main star for us was their creamy garlic fettuccine and alfredo with prawns, it was to die for! One of the best pasta we ever had. The choice of cocktails also vary and overall decent.Ambience was nice, there was a live music, also the bartender was very friendly.

The restaurant wasn’t near full, but our order took over 45 minutes to get to us. It was cold when we got it. We found it to be noisy and loud, and our server was very abrupt verging on unfriendly. Never will go back.

I had the crabcakes Benedict. It was absolutely Amazing! In house made crabcakes on top of a fresh bakery croissant with fresh tomato and avocado slices the flavor explosions were out of this world I highly recommend! The service was fantastic. Zoey was our server. Excellent recommendations. Very prompt with drinks and food. We sat on the patio with our dog and she brought over a heater and sat us next to the fireplace and we stayed warm on a cool day. It was a delightful experience.

Great food bad service. I have been here twice and both times felt completely ignored even while trying to get the check.

Heather the bartender was disgusting I sat and waited to be served for 30 minutes while watching her take shots and give free shots to her friends. 3rd time here and she is always drunk on shift. Don't bother when she is working.Brad: Like I said it was a couple of instances, the last one being about 6 weeks ago in the late afternoon.  I almost went in the other day until i saw her in the window.  The last time she was talking about how the owner botched some business in Seattle and doesn't know how to manage a place and that she helps him "cook the books".  It was weird.  I assume she was just drunk.

The entrées were good, with excellent portions. The winter salad was delicious.The service was underwhelming. If I choose not to have a cocktail, please don't make me feel like I should consider wine or beer. Pushing alcohol is just not ok.

DOES NOT FOLLOW ADA LAW — Imposed illegal restrictions on my service animal. I entered with my service animal without his vest as a sit down dining environment doesn’t involve him being close to large quantities of people and he would likely attract more attention if he was wearing it. This is a common occurrence for me. I was asked if he was a service animal, to which I said yes. I was then guided to a table. Before long, I was informed by the hostess that the manager had informed her he had to be vested. I clarified that was not true and that the ADA dictates no service animal will be required to wear any identifying item. I soon entered a conversation with the manager, who despite being shown the ADA website saying as such, insisted that it was restaurant policy. When I mentioned that federal regulations overrule policies of business open to the public, she persisted that “an email went out to all the restaurants a year ago regarding the policy change.” I tried to ask what she was talking about because the state legislature has made no such change, but I was simply told that she was just following the rules. I conceded at this point but I could not move to the back patio or return to my car to fetch his vest due to my health condition being impacted by the frankly upsetting conversation combined with having walked from my car just a moment before. I asked for some time to get my condition back under control or risk fainting, and was allowed that much. It took me several minutes to get my heart rate back under control as it had reached dangerous heights. In the ten minutes or so it took, I was not once approached by anyone, let alone allowed to at least get my order put in before I went to my car. I eventually went and nearly fell on my return due to dizziness. I was finally served after ten more minutes and received decent coffee with bitter tasting French toast. I barely took two bites before stopping and just felt nauseated by the whole experience. It took another thirty minutes to actually get the waitress’ attention for the check, and she only asked if I wanted a box for the barely touched food, which I declined. Overall, I sincerely hope that the owners take a hard look at their policies regarding disabled patrons and service animals, seeing as it seems not a single person there was even familiar with the basics of the ADA.Parking: Handicapped parking not good. Highly restricted due to nearest handicapped parking being across the street and limited to one spot.Wheelchair accessibility: Highly restricted due to nearest handicapped parking being across the street and limited to one spot.
