Great food and really fun, unique drinks. Love coming here and have visited at least 6-10 times at this point with my wife. Oysters are legit. The food and drinks are consistently great and Eric is such a great dude—he’s the snazzy dressed guy who can be seen running around keeping everything going smoothly. A must try restaurant!!

A great spot for a cold winter night. Food is excellent. Our waitress Natalya was helpful and attentive. She pointed out that the large salad I was going to order as an appetizer could be ordered in a smaller version instead of fries for a modest additional charge. Just the sort of thing you appreciate from a server.

Jess was a great server, happy to explain food and beverages. Cocktails were very good, Lavender Moon and Hot Buttered Cider both excellent. Shepherd’s Pie was really good and the fish and chips was good. Monk fish also quite good. Too full for dessert!

This is a gem. Been going here for several years and find the menu and the chef and all who work there to be welcoming. Had a squash soup that was a meal in itself. Parking, by the way, is plentiful, easy and free. Enjoy.
