We had a party of five and made reservations. We waited for at least 30 minutes to be seated but we enjoyed the booth in the back! The strawberry goat cheese bruschetta appetizer was very, very good! We also had the brussel sprouts appetizer but due to vegetarian diet restrictions we did not get the maple bacon sauce for it. Probably the sauce would have given the brussels a better overall flavor although they were ok as is. The waiter was attentive especially at the greeting but his interest seemed to wane a bit as the orders were taken and the evening moved on. The tomato soup was way too salty and little of it was eaten at all. The salads were good, the chicken marsala and the Curried Mahi Mahi were both terrific. I think the food was great but perhaps the server was hoping for a larger guest check given that 3 of the party had salads w/o protein vs more expensive options? In any case, not sure we’d come back. Probably a couple more vegetarian entrees like a pasta dish or two could make it a better choice for the party we had.
