I had two fantastic dinners at this restaurant. The lamb and bluefish dishes were outstanding, the duck breast was excellent, and while the gnocchi was good, it was quite different from traditional Italian versions. The service was attentive and friendly.

The staff were extremely friendly. I brought my parents along, and they showed remarkable patience and kindness to our entire group. The food was among the best in this area, so just manage your expectations if you're used to fine dining in major cities. However, I genuinely mean this as a compliment to the restaurant.

Service was somewhat brusque and impatient, feeling a bit inexperienced, and it certainly lacked warmth. Although we had informed the management that we were celebrating a significant anniversary, the birthday greeting they provided seemed to take center stage. A phone call made earlier to discuss flowers for a centerpiece was completely ignored, and our table was devoid of any festive decorations. On the bright side, the salads were fresh, the drinks were generally good, but the bread was stale (and offered at an additional cost!), making it feel like an afterthought. To borrow a quote from David Foster Wallace, this was a supposedly fun experience that I wouldn't want to repeat.

I decided to try this restaurant and it’s definitely made my list of favorites. The service was excellent, but the food was outstanding! In my opinion, this place surpassed Pine at the Hanover Inn by a long shot. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100
