The restaurant was lovely. Besutiful setting and the waiter was great. The food was excellent. Only minor comments. Clams were very small on the clams casino and the sauce on the fish was a little salty. The fish itself was very good (minus the salt). Desserts were amazing. Will go back.

We ate in the wine room and it was lovely. The ambiance is a major selling point of this home turned restaurant - you won't feel out of place if you're dressed up a bit. The food was quite tasty. The dry rub on the beef and the parmigiana on the salmon were both delicious. We expected the strawberry and mousse dessert to be good, and it was great. Fine dining without the pretentiousness.

Went there for dinner this past Saturday to celebrate our wedding anniversary expecting a superb dining experience and, as usual, we were not disappointed. The staff was helpful, courteous and friendly. We were happy to see their Summer Salad was back (I believe it's under a new name but it's as good as ever). We both got the salads and the presentation was exceeded only by the flavor. If you go there, trust me, order that salad if it's on the menu - it's fantastic. My wife had the ribeye steak and it was very, very good (she let me try a bite). I was having a hard time deciding between that or the filet mignon. I choose the filet and got the blue cheese topper. It was unbelievably good. To say I made the right choice would be an understatement. Nothing against the ribeye (it was also great), but I'd venture to say it was the best filet I've ever had. Ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The quality of the meat was excellent, the flavor of their chef's custom rub was wonderful, and the blue cheese topping was the proverbial icing-on-the-cake. It's no exaggeration to say I savored every single bite. We had some cab sauv to go with our steaks and it paired nicely. We were too full to even think about dessert... maybe next time. Can't wait to go there again.
