    The new location was beautifully designed and built! The food was delicious, service was excellent and the valet added an extra touch to the experience. The bacon in a glass appetizer is heaven, seared halibut is the best fish entree I’ve ever had. We tried the pot pie and it just hit the spot as comfort food. Overall great experience and we will be back soon!

    Fast friendly service as always. We tend to go early before 6 pm to avoid the crowds and the noise. And also…happy hour ! When you live in BT it’s the best option when you don’t want to drive to far. Mostly bar food but seasonal specials and special events.
