Such a great restaurant. Food is always outstanding. Service is always outstanding. This place is a gem. Very consistently excellent. We are regulars and it is always packed for a reason. My only complaint is that I wish the salads were larger.

This is my go to place for a bite and a drink after a round of golf at Pound Ridge. The menu is small but everything on it they do well. The food is consistently good, the ambiance is like a local, neighborhood place and the service is friendly. Think if Cheers were in Pound Ridge. Worth a try if you haven’t been.
