We waited for our table at the bar and ordered wine. The bar tender showed the glass she was about to fill to someone, presumably an owner or manager, to show that the name was not etched. The glass was passed aroung and then returned to the bar tender who proceeded to finish filling it. We had to ask for a glass that had not been handled by others. The noise level is unpleasant. It is wonderful that the restaurant is doing well and filled but it was very uncomfortable. BTW, we are in our 80's and could have hearing problems. Fortunately, we don't but it would have come in handy last night. The tables are very small. I assume that was to fit more tables in the relatively small space. I felt like I was on top of the others at the table.

The restaurant was fantastic! Great atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff. I especially loved the Greek Lemon Chicken Soup and Grilled Atlantic Salmon – it was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again!

Menu's changed a bit since they opened, but so long as they keep those brussels sprouts, I'll keep coming back.

It was a very cute place but expensive and we didn’t love the food. The staff was extremely nice and attentive.

We were offered seats at the bar while waiting and enjoyed excellent cocktails and friendly service. The restaurant is small and very popular so you need to be patient in waiting for tables to free up but it’s worth the wait! For dinner I had the steak frites paired with a Preq’Isle Pinot Noir and my wife chose the Rosemary Lamb chops. Both excellent.

We had very nice time and understanding it is a small restaurant we had to wait 45 minutes for our appointed reservation. I am glad to see it is a popular restaurant, I do like seeing local restaurants to so well. Our food was good. The owners seem very engaged with the customers. I would return.
