What an amazing local gem! We recently moved into the neighborhood and have already come here 4 times. Some nights it has been pretty packed and others it was a bit more open. There’s an indoor area at the bar and a greenhouse area out back with heaters in the winter. The menu is wonderful – we tried different items each time and they have all been delicious! The staff has been really nice, although you may need to flag one down when it gets busier. We feel really lucky to have such a great restaurant within minutes from home and look forward to meeting more of the staff and other locals since we will definitely be stopping in regularly!

I ordered the hangar steak & it was outstanding, cooked perfect, just as requested.
Accompanied with 3 dipping sauces, all excellent & a nice touch.
The crème brûlée special was Grand Marnier also excellent.
All made for a great meal! Looking forward to a repeat.

Really interesting and delicious menu! We got the miso pasta, buffalo chicken egg rolls, and shrimp wontons. Great quality kids meal! Fast service even though the place was totally packed.

Very unassuming and delightful café. It’s off the beaten path, but it seems everyone knows how delicious the food is. The staff were so attentive and polite. My second dining experience was perfect!

I had the chicken cauliflower pasta and my partner had a miso pasta dish. Both were very bland. The cauliflower pasta dish did not have the pine nuts listed on the menu and very few raisins. The flavor was overpowered by pepper. The miso dish was even more bland with little texture. On the plus side, the wine was good and we liked the atmosphere. Disappointing food, though.

We were trying to find something to eat on our way home so we found this little place. What a gem!! Nothing fancy but very charming. We had Fried Pickles, Fried Lobster Roll and Wings. Everything was delicious. Wish we didn’t live so far away. Will definitely make the trip back here. Staff was so welcoming. My only complaint was, eating outside there wasn’t enough shade. But, I would gladly sit in the sun again for another one of those Lobster Rolls!

The food is delicious. Had the Korean Fish Soup and my wife had the Mozzarella BLT. We are going back to sample more of the variety on the menu. The remodeled dining area and sun room look very nice and the sun blocking decorations really make it comfortable. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Small on the outside, big on great food and atmosphere. Bartenders are the owners, food amazing, great fish and chips and burgers. More cocktail combos than you could ever drink + local beers. Will definitely come back and highly recommend 5* all the way.
