                        Food and service was excellent, we were tucked around the corner that is technically next to the front door and the cold breeze made my wife really cold for most of the meal. Otherwise, like I said, everything was excellent.

                        I like the openness of the layout. It makes the experience a comfortable one. The service was attentive and pleasant. I had the burger, which was a pleasing balance of tenderness without falling apart in one’s hand.

                        We arrived with two toddlers in tow. The server was great and asked the kitchen staff to prepare a grilled cheese (not ordinarily on the menu)- served with their typical fries- very good and very much appreciated! Butternut squash soup, fish sandwich and beet and arugula salad were excellent!
