Food was microwaved service was not refined. Cleaning products on the table. Sardines were served in a plastic cup because they didn’t think we wanted it in the Caesar salad. Very wonky.

Started with the PEI mussles which were very tasty and the bread that accompanies we really liked. Had the swordfish..which tasted pretty good..nice flavor. The pasta that accompanied it was a large portion of not good pasta - very little flavor

This was our second visit so we knew the food was good. Food was as amazing as we remembered, but the service was severely lacking. No one knew which server was ours - and although the waiter compensated the first round of drinks due to our table being ignored for close to 30 minutes post arrival, it was not very busy and we watched them bust their bums for the tables all around us. We watched tables arrive after us, get served drinks and bread pretty quickly, and even ate their entire dinners before our appetizers arrived. We understand there was miscommunication among the servers on who had our table, and while the food is outstanding, it is pretty pricey for a lack of attentiveness and we’re unlikely to go back for a third time.

This was a return visit. We were there opening night. Then a few months later then this visit Everything was great The changed the recipe on the Italian wedding soup I think the previous one was better. It was good Short rib & pasta was great! The Blue crab pasta was very good, Except they need to back off on the pepper just a bit it was overpowering I Desserts were excellent it was a great experience want to taste the crab. Not the pepper ! Will go back I like the Resturant and like that the manager stops by. Showing concern . It well run and the staff arecexceptional Kudos
