Top marks for our server who took extra care with our order, separating the soup and salad for sharing. The crab cakes were amazing! We ordered wine which was clearly chosen based on the taste and an easy pairing with menu items. The restaurant sits just outside the hotel allowing guests to enjoy a quiet spot in the city and the lovely outdoors.

Party of. 5 needed to dine outside as we also had 2 dogs! Wait staff wonderfully accommodating and even brought water for the dogs. The food is consistently great with a fun wine list and creative cocktails….a really nice place to visit!

Mother’s Day Brunch here was fantastic. Outstanding food, very similar to one we did at the Wentworth, but half the price. Staff was great, seatings were staggered so it didn’t feel crowded. Valet parking, nice setting, definitely recommend.

Or third time here whenever we’re in town, we make sure we come. Absolutely the best fish and chips we’ve ever had and that’s traveling a lot of New England in Florida. Grrst cocktails too Love their self service ordering platform and the wait staff is still attentive in addition to it.
