Brunch was wonderful. Eggs Benedict with special homemade bread , and the crispy pork belly omelette, were the dishes we shared. Outdoors on a beautiful day. Has a pet friendly patio. Love this place.

I go here frequently, but on this visit that seem to have a new chef. The quality of the food seems to have suffered as well, but it is generally good, and I will be back.

Went for Valentine's Day dinner. My wife and I had chose different plates to try everything. The halibut and steak were amazing, but the chowder that was served cold. Had to turn it back to get it reheated. It was a 4 course meal. I would say it was an excellent meal but wasn't quite worth the 75$ per person that was charged.

Food was outstanding. Chef knows how to innovate a recipe thats unique and worth talking about. Each course was wonderful and made you wonder what the chef would do with the next course. I highly recommend wine pairing with your meal. it was offered and we enjoyed what it did to enhance the each specific course. We have found that step above the rest restaurant.

The restaurant was beautiful. I wish we had gotten there a little earlier so we could see the ocean in the light. Outdoor seating was nice and heated so that was pleasant. The seats were hard metal and a bit uncomfortable. They should put some pads on them. The coffee is really good and my girlfriend got the wine pairing. It was a bit pricey for what it was but it was good. The service was very slow and the expos seemed a little clueless. But overall very good restaurant.

Very charming. Ambiance was nice. We were able to sit outdoors since there were plenty of heaters. Locally sourced food was very good
