    Exceptional cuisine and dining experience. Popcorn shrimp and salmon were delightful. The Coffee is dark and flavorful. Fantastic attentive friendly service and ambiance. The menu offered numerous entrees paired with tantalizing sauces to catch your attention. This is a definite do over during my next trip to Manchester.
