Several of us had the pasta with white clam sauce. It was redolent with garlic as it should be and was delicious. Others had the waffle with lobster and it too was very good. Felt the desserts were overpriced for what they were but very good nonetheless. Service was very good also.

A very good restaurant that was shorthanded in the front of the restaurant and in the kitchen. The food was excellent except for the pancake entree; the pancakes were burnt, not worth the price. We will return.
