    Ordered a coconut shrimp and it came out way overcooked. I requested another dish and the taste of coconut was not discernible. Worst coconut shrimp I’ve ever had. However, everything else was delicious.

    We arrived at the golden hour of the day for dinner. We began with the Almond Encrusted Brie appetizer (deliciously savory apple chutney over crostini). I ordered a virgin pina colada to watch the ice floes drift past the window. At the beginning, they played recognizable hits of recorded music of the speakers. Later on, a pianist arrived who was quite talented. it was very relaxing to eat in this environment. My wife and I ordered off the prix fixe menu. The New England Clam Chowder rivals what I have had previously out in Boston. My wife had the Maryland Style Crab Cakes. This is a very sophisticated offering served over sweet corn emulsion with sweet corn salad on top. I had Atlantic Salmon, expertly prepared on the grill. We both had Vanilla Bean Creme Bruleé for dessert. Our server was very friendly, prompt in serving, and professional. It was a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting. We left at twilight. We'll definitely be back!

    Stopped on here as a Dasher and the hostess was very unprofessional discussing my slight odor of 420 to the other waitress right in front of me. Saying they needed to get me out because I “stink”. The order I was picking up has to be made fresh and I think I’m going to unassign it because it’s disgusting she treated me that way.

    The restaurant was outstanding. We had a variety of food and it was excellent. Our server was Angie and she made our night a special event. We will be back the next time we are in the area.

    Memorable experience from start to finish. Excellent service and cozy upscale setting without feeling pretentious. This was my first time here and as a foodie I was very impressed. I had the clam chowder which was flavorful with large bits of fresh clam and potatoes. Then for the entree, crab cakes! I don't know what the sauce on top was but I enjoyed every bite and left no leftovers. A little costly? Yes. Worth the money? Big yes! I will go here for special occasions in the future. I'd like to try more.
