We dined here our first night on the island. What a great first impression! The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. We won't make a trip to the island without eating a meal here.

We went right as they opened for lunch at 11:00am. I had the pot roast sandwich and my husband had the Cowboy burger and both were delicious! The pot roast sandwich had a little too much mustard, it overpowered the amazing flavor of the pot roast. The burger was just a little dry, but the bbq sauce more than made... More

We got take out from here one night. The food was excellent and well priced. My grilled salmon salad was cooked perfectly with a night char on the outside. The salad was fresh and full of veggies. Very satisfying meal. My aunt said their clam chowder was good. A little confusion when I placed the order, but when I went... More

We chose this place based on the menu selection and because it was off the main street and all the restaurants were busy. This was a nice place, good atmosphere, kid friendly and appropriately priced. Had the Cobb salad, which was very good, and they had a decent craft beer selection. Some from Shorts, which is one of my favorite... More

The food here was very good, a little on the pricey side, but it was still worth going to. I ordered the smoked gouda macaroni and cheese and it was excellent. My husband ordered the cherry chicken orecchiete, and our friends ordered the pistachio crusted whitefish and the balsamic chicken pasta. Everyone liked their dish, portion sizes were good, and...

This is the best place to eat on the Island. Decent prices, good service, and wonderful food. Try the ribs. The risotto ball appetizer is amazing along with their Cajun bites. They have a kid's menu and varied selections for everyone. They even have vegetarian dishes.

My husband and I had ate lunch here. The restaurant wasn't very busy but it took a while to get the food. Do not get the Ruben the bread is toasted instead of grilled. The meat to the overly dry and the sandwich lacked any zip. The burger was also on the blah

We really enjoyed our dinner here! The pistachio encrusted whitefish was delicious. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. We liked the ambiance of this restaurant. It's located on one of the side streets in the downtown area, so the only thing it lacked was a waterfront view.

Excellent service from "Loren," a four year veteran who knew the menu well. She suggested the Beef Pot Roast which was yummy and the Shrimp and mussel Diablo. The broths were great and we had extra bread (fresh) at Loren's suggestion to enjoy most of the extra broth. They have a nice ambiance and are located just off the busy... More
