Food

Pros:

• "I had the Steak & I can not stop talking about it lol It was so juicy & delicious."

• "For starters you can't miss the steak tartare, chicken liver mousse, and the carrot salad."
• "The food was heavenly but what really sets this place apart is the kindness!!"
• "The freshly pasta is mouth watering and light."
• "The fish chowder was also very good. For my main I got the quail which was tiny but seasoned well and enjoyable."
• "The mushroom ravioli was fantastic, and the Brussels sprouts as well as the wings were perfect starters."

Cons:

• "Some of the food, like the pork chop, was quite tasty, some of it was just okay, and some of it, like the mushroom ravioli, was just awful."
• "The poached eggs were not very flavorful, needed more seasoning."
• "I would skip the fish and chips - the chips were dry and older fries."
• "The burger was not enjoyable, did not feel like it was 100% beef, seemed more of a meatloaf."
• "It looks like they changed the fry recipe (they went from breaded twice-fried to what looks like boxed Ore Ida fries, a huge downgrade)."
• "The food could have been seasoned better."
• "And the worst part, the food. I don't know if the kitchen staff just ran out of give-a-s%#t or what but it wasn't very good."
