My basil spaghetti was delicious as was the duck confit eaten by another diner. Another diner had speckled trout which he was unimpressed with. Parts of the fish were undercooked and some parts were overcooked.

Service was good! Underwhelmed by food and especially the value. Had the whipped feta toast at brunch which I added an egg for extra costs. The toast was described as coming with seasonal toppings and hot honey but came with no toppings. Just cheese spread on toast with a little honey for $17.
