Seafood Chowder needs to be hot. The other tabe sent theirs back. We decided to tough it out and it got tougher as it cooled off more. My complaint is I told the waiter that ours was the same and he didn't offer to take our bowls as well. That was wrong. I think they just nuked the other tables bowls which is almost ok but they should have comped us our soup. The rest of the meal was hot and good. Not sure what the standard procedure is for this but he should have asked. I have to blame it on a new hire and was unsure what the protocol was.

On a pleasant day, the outdoor patio is a fantastic option. The wine selection is good, although slightly pricey. The salmon portion was generous and well-seasoned, but it was a bit dry. The vegetables were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The dessert options looked enticing, but we were too full from the salmon to indulge in any.

Unfortunately, they were understaffed and running low on supplies as they were trying to reduce their inventory for winter. When I inquired about the staff shortage, the manager responded in a rather snarky manner. Overall, my dinner experience and the service left much to be desired.
