Some of the food was just okay, but the desserts were ALL awesome. Highly recommend the PB&J cake.

I had lunch at this restaurant. The service was excellent, and so were the soup and dessert. The wine was decent, but the BLT sandwich was just average. read more I had lunch at this restaurant.

It wasn't bad, but it was bland and one-dimensional. The clams themselves we're good--very fresh. The bitter greens salad was awful. There was a green puree on the plate that was flat and bitter. The chefs need to start tasting the food before it leaves the kitchen! The squash tartine was also incredibly bland. The plate looked good--it was very well presented--but the squash was flavorless. I couldn't force myself to finish it. The pork bourguingon was the most flavorful of the dishes I tried, but was way too salty. It was a bit of a shock after all the bland, underseasoned dishes that preceded it. It was so salty that I wasn't able to finish it. The service was good and the ambiance is nice, but I can't recommend it.
