We have been here many times. The eggplant app was very good. I had the haddock and my wife the salmon. Salmon was overcooked and the risotto was salty. My wife had this dish a couple of weeks ago and loved it. My haddock was just ok. Nothing special. Our server offered to provide my wife a new dish which we said no, but did provide a free desert to make it up. Concerned that the staff has had what appears to be a complete turnover since the new owners took over a year or so ago. Hopefully they didn’t let there cooking staff go. Surprised on a Thursday night it was pretty quiet except the bar area.
