This was one of the best dinners in Brewster. Can’t believe i didn’t get a pic, but I highly recommend their lobster and shrimp pasta with saffron sauce. The meal was amazing and tasted great. If we were staying longer, I definitely would have gone back.

This was our first time dining here. It has a very nice homey, neighborhood atmosphere. The bar area was bustling and a good dining room crowd. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The bussing staff was on top of it. Never had to ask for water refills and empty/dirty dishes were promptly whisked away.
We shared a bowl of the lobster bisque which was rich with flavor but light on lobster. The braised short ribs were good, very tender however, the ginger soy sauce was a bit over-powering. It was served with a round of rice, no vegetables. The two pieces of veal Milanese were on the dry side. It was topped with a few roasted asparagus spears and a tasty arugula mix.
The tre leche cake was delicious.
We felt that for the price it was on the higher side based upon the quantity of food served.

Took 50 minutes for our food to come out. Only gave us a little bread after 20 minutes. Nice environment inside (outside is a deck in the parking lot), large menu on the slightly expensive side, food tasted good but lacked in portion size (see scallop photo, which is technically an entree like the others). Good margaritas. Also the “grilled vegetables” was just a single piece of tough, under-steamed broccoli.

We had an incredible meal back in May, so we could not wait to have dinner on this trip in September and they exceeded our expectations once again. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff (especially Freddy) were outstanding. We plan on another dinner here before our vacation ends in a few days. This restaurant is a “must” if you are dining in Brewster.

The food is some of the best food my wife and I have ever had anywhere. The place is a bit packed but I know why. Anyone who has been here is coming back. Service is excellent. Ask for Eduardo! I had the blackened Salmon and my wife had the Salmon Picata. Wow…and then topped it off with a gluten free lava cake. INCREDIBLE!!

This review is more about the bar… I’m thrilled that after the long winter, this establishment is open. A fantastic restaurant with ample seating and staff, many areas to accommodate families, couples on dates, or groups, this establishment does a fine job with making each experience feel personal. As a cocktail connoisseur, I’m most delighted by the bar. The Coronarita was a pleasant surprise. It’s a well balanced margarita with a 7oz bottle of corona. This drink drew my attention when I was a bit skeptical of the menu, which could be improved by simply not calling everything on it a “martini.” The drinks and service are great though. With ideal lighting and a great selection of spirits, including some fine scotches, this bar actually feels like a bar for those who are looking for more than a family restaurant with a bar in it. The bartender (Caesar I think?) who has served me twice this week is friendly, professional & all around great while handling high volume. The host staff and servers are also welcoming. A good place to go to have a drink and strike up conversation with locals too

Outstanding dinners were enjoyed by all! We’ll pace ourselves better next time in order to try the appetizers and/or desserts. We enjoyed the salmon piccata, the haddock tuscano, and the chicken & scallops cacciatore. We went early and the only star off for atmosphere was that it did start to get loud inside as the seats filled – not a bad thing, good energy, but one in our party is hard of hearing so we couldn’t linger to try a dessert. So fresh, great balance of flavors. We are fans!
