    The Pond House is a gem in our community. The location, service and menu is perfect for a casual meet up. The acoustics are so bad. I have found it only works for me if there is one person to talk to so I can focus.

    The dishes were excellent! We ordered the sea bass, lamp chops, and butternut squash pasta. The grilled veggie appetizer and burrata salad was exquisite as well. We loved the service; our server was so attentive to our needs and did an excellent job. We also enjoyed the cocktails and mocktails as well. Thank you for a wonderful family dinner experience!
