    Next Door by Wegmans is one of my very favorite local restaurants. The sea bass was amazing as well as the tenderloin skewers. The mango cheesecake for two was spectacular and very creative. I think what I liked best was the elimination of the oil candles which were replaced by LED lamps. I’m very sensitive to smells and it was so nice not having those there anymore. I will be back again soon!

    There was actually seafood in their seafood chowder. All of our food and drinks were superb! We enjoyed great service and the recently rebuilt restaurant was beautiful with amazing Holiday decorations. The fireplace in our room made the ambiance complete. It was a five star experience.
