    We just had our Christmas dinner here. All of the staff were so welcoming and very good at their jobs. I’m not sure if it was the owner who greeted us, but he and the other hostess were also wonderful. Food was great. We would definitely come here again.

    As on previous visits Mare was great.. We started with fresh oysters. We had the waiter pick for us and he did an excellent job. My wife the pasta with mushrooms which she loved. I had the sword fish which was cooked perfectly, nice and moist. We shared an affogato for dessert, one of our favorites. Our server was pleasant, helpful and efficient. The evening was perfect.

    Only ding on the service was that following shift change, we had trouble getting our check. Only ding on the "chowda" was it could have been a little warmer. Otherwise, this remains a great spot for a good meal!
