Character, no, charm and character, made everything feel good. But when they closed, nobody had a clue what was ahead. The good news is, I'm about to tell you why this is a must go. We arrived a little early, planning on having a cocktail at the outside bar, surrounded by waterfalls and firepits. Had the weather been better, I would be sharing that part of the experience, but alas, fate dictated an indoor-only experience on this trip. Not that it made it bad, just left me wanting to come back for that part of the night another time. Now, on to the dinner. If service alone was the reason for 5 stars, Becky would have earned an easy 12. Not only was she timely, but so filled with knowledge of what was being served, both food and wine, that she became an integral part of the evening. The room was minimalist in its design so as to not distract from the main attraction. And the food, well, that's what you've wanted to hear about, so here we go. We began by choosing the tasting menu. While many wonderful options are available ala carte, the tasting menu provided the chance to test the capabilities of the chef and prep staff. They passed with flying colors. The marriage of colors, textures, and outstanding flavors, combined with artistic talent, make even a simple food exotic. They nailed it at every bend. I won't talk about everything, but my favorites were the panne cotta, the ravioli (like chiffon), and the dessert. Oh, and the salad. Oh yeah! Read the menu for details. My dining partners opted for the wine pairing and felt it, like the meal itself, was a tremendous value. I can't argue that for even a moment. Bottom line. Make a reservation, sit in the fancier Finch, and thank me later. PS - the bar also serves food, but that review is for another day.

My fiancee and I booked a table at the two week old restaurant located in the historic, 300+ year old Stockton Inn to celebrate our engagement. The refined but not sedate or stuffy atmosphere hosts just 13 tables, and the service provided, like the food and drink, was phenomenal. The menu looks towards Northern Italy with a handful of raw/salad starters, pasta dishes, entrees, and desserts available, alongside the four course Finch Experience prix fixed. I opted for the Finch Experience; while the kitchen was happy to accomodate requests for vegetarian options, my fiancee kept it to two courses. First up: an amuse bouche ("table grapes") - cauliflower panna cotta with grapes + oil + pepitas. A sweet and savory taste and good indication of the fare to come. Next: bread - brioche with seaweed butter. The puffy bread roll is probably the best taste of brioche either of us have had: buttery, salty, and tender, and boosted by the incredible and subtle umami taste of the butter. Starter: winter chicory salad - chicory + poached pear + fennel salami + shaved pecorino + anchovy. I'm a sucker for anchovy filets in salad, and the bracing brine pairs well with the sweet pear and bitter chicory. Pasta: beef cheek agnolotti - pasta with braised beef cheek + cabbage in a black truffle sauce with dried cherries + hazelnuts. The beef was meltingly tender while the tart cherries and savory hit of the sauce cut through the richness with hazelnuts providing a nice contrast in texture. carnaroli risotto - risotto with wild mushrooms, made vegetarian (without parmigiano on request). Rich, creamy rice mellowed out the delicious funk of the mushrooms Entree: seared duck breast - pan seared duck + chestnut puree + spiced red cabbage + persimmon in a huckleberry jus. Outstanding duck and meltingly tender, with the tart jus harmonizing with the fat honeynut squash - squash + lentils + sunflower gremolata. Perfectly al dente lentils topped the just sweet enough squash Dessert: pavlova - meringue topped with pistachio + blood orange sorbet over a lemon sauce. The play of sweet and tart was the perfect ending to the meal funnel cake - fried dough + powdered sugar. An unexpected treat with the Finch Experience; this was a fine, boardwalk style funnel cake though nowhere near as greasy Drinks: Miss Behavin' - apple brandy + pear brandy + lemon juice + sparkling wine. Bright and fruity without cloying sweetness. The sparkling wine adds a lightness Jack Rose - Calvados + apple brandy + lemon juice + lime juice + house grenadine + raspberry liqueur + orange bitters. Tart and bold, but very drinkable and pairing well with the flavors of the meal. An elite dining experience all around and the staff couldn't be nicer or more professional, even bringing us each a complimentary glass of champagne for our engagement Very highly recommended

My friend and I split a Philly cheese steak and a meatball parm sub, and each of us had a homemade lemonade. The Philly was legit. Shaved beef, Whiz, crispy onion and cooked onion, it rocked!

Inside: Pick a spot to sit. We got there right as it opened, so it was pretty much "sit and we'll serve you." Two rooms - one is loud and built for music sets (maybe karaoke or other type nights also), the other was by the kitchen but also by the door, the counter, and... straight sightline to the bathroom. Which has two doors, by the way, one to the restaurant and one to the back. I was tempted to go out the back when I was done just for fun. Anyway, that's not why we came. We came for the food. Since this was a date, my mind was not fully on what I was eating, but I remember I thoroughly enjoyed it. Daily specials, beginning of Lent meant some non-meats, so an interesting selection that will change every time you visit. My date, not impressed as much. I do want to take both of our impressions into account, along with the atmosphere that needs some improvement. 4 stars feels like the right answer.

After a few minutes, they said they could squeeze us in. It felt a bit odd -- the space isn't very large, so you'd expect the dining room to be easier to manage. We shared the burger and the carbonara. Both dishes were underwhelming, especially given the expectations we had for this spot. The burger was on the bland side, and the carbonara was made with store‑bought noodles, which took away from the dish. While the food missed the mark, the dining area itself is very nice and the service was great.

This place was busy and I saw many people ordering their different types of sandwiches which are large. I love that they have a sandwich with chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella. They make all different kinds of pasta dishes and they do catering too. As I walked around I noticed they have wonderful imported soppressatas, ( dry cured salami's) fresh pastas,and dry pastas, imported olive oils, balsamic's , Italian cookies, delicious Italian breads.

When you walk in, they have various goods (e.g., olive oil, pasta) on the right wall and the meat and cheese cases on the left. There were several workers behind the counter so I did not have to wait long to place my order. I ordered the sub with lettuce, tomato, onion, oil and vinegar. It's normally a 20 minute drive home but because of the rain, it took nearly 30. When we got home, the sub was not soaked to the point where the bread was falling apart, which shows they add just enough and the bread is sturdy. It was just as good as I remember it. I wish I could find someplace similar closer to home but don't mind the drive back to K&S.

I think it may be located in the old Rooster Coffee Roaster space on N. Union Street nearest the northern part of town. We had reservations, and boy were they busy and LOUD!!! We were seated in a back room section, which we thought would be a win on volume, but heck, we were all having a fun time and drinking and eating. A lively place for groups for sure. As for the menu, it did take me a few read-throughs as there were many new ingredients to my lexicon, and I wasn't able to visualize some of the dishes from the description. No fret we did nail our first experience by ordering and sharing the Gnudi Di Granchio - ricaotta dumplings, summer crabmeat, corn sauce, charred corn, red pepper puree and scallion -- was delicious and the blend of the flavors surprised our taste buds and the Carpinone le pizze - sunday sauce, parmigiano, crumbled meatball and sausage, I have to fess up, I'm not a lover of meatball and sausage on my pizzia, why because no other place we've been used the RIGHT ingredients... this was a winner. Packed with flavor. I like to taste my meal. Our server, Matthew, was very patient with us as I mentioned we needed more time to review and make our choices.
