We had a great experience The menu offers a tasting menu It says everyone has to order.

What an experience! My husband made a reservation for our one year anniversary at 6:30 on a Saturday night.

I did not enjoy my experience at this restaurant. The bar/tavern was filled with loud and obnoxious customers even though it was not busy. The tasting menu offered small portions at a high price, and the waitress incorrectly informed me that the green peppers in my clam chowder were mild, causing me discomfort. Instead of addressing the issue, they replaced it with asparagus, their only vegetable option. I had to request more water as my glass went empty unnoticed. The seating options were uncomfortable, with backless benches in the tavern/bar. This is not a place for those looking for a satisfying meal with plenty of protein and vegetables. Despite the disappointing meal, the coffee served after was enjoyable.

4 plates divided. Scallops cooked perfectly, sauce not very aromatic, chased the small amount of peas around the plate. Beet platter was good. Tuna poke had strings of supposedly kelp salad, fries were sparse and not wasabi powder. If more chips were requested, the answer was "not sure but will be checked". Return with 4 chips. It seemed pretty strange that the smoked bluefish and avocado toast was served with bluefish on one toast and avocado on the other.

The staff was amazing, the ambience was great, and the food was thoughtful, fresh, and inventive. I can't wait to go back for the vegetable gnocchi.
