The appetizers were good, Brie and shrimp presented nicely, but our main course flounder with crab meat was dry over cooked and the tuna was cold and extremely rare. The duck was ok and the lamb chops were far most the best choice. The apple tart dessert was yummy to finish.

My family and I decided to make a last-minute reservation for Mother's Day at 3:00 pm. We started our meal with burrata and mozzarella-tomato appetizers, both of which were just okay. Two of us ordered the rack of lamb, while the other two ordered linguine with seafood (scallops, shrimp, etc.). Overall, we all agreed that the food was adequate, but not exceptional in any way. It seems that the quality of the food has declined since our last visits.

There were 3 other tables and we were all well separated. So it was much more quiet than normal. Food was great as always
