Asparagus: 8/10 Bacon scallops: 6/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 8/10 The bacon scallops started things off with a solid "eh, they're fine," which had me wondering where the night was headed. Turns out they were just the opening act, because everything after that was fantastic. The filet was cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're paying steakhouse prices. The lobster tail was fresh and very good, although honestly, it ended up playing third wheel to the steak and potatoes. And those potatoes... GET. THE. POTATO. GRATIN. Seriously. I don't know what kind of buttery, cheesy sorcery was happening back there, but they were ridiculously good. Perfectly cooked, rich without being overwhelming, and easily my favorite thing on the table. I would have considered ordering a second one if I had any dignity left. I was in town for a conference and came here for an 8 p.m. dinner. Service was prompt, professional, and attentive, and the atmosphere hit that sweet spot of feeling upscale without making you feel like you need to whisper and discuss your investment portfolio. The steak and potato gratin alone earned the five stars. The lobster was basically a very tasty bonus. Highly recommended. And I cannot stress this enough: Order. The. Potatoes.

As a native New Englander, I don't say this lightly: this was one of the best seafood meals we've…read morehad in a very long time. Phenomenal oysters and shrimp; seared tuna was stellar! We made the rookie mistake of showing up without a reservation on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was packed. The hostess, who was in training, handled the situation with such poise. She was warm, thoughtful, and transparent about the 45-minute wait, which we genuinely appreciated. What really set the tone, though, was Will. I later learned he was one of the owners, but you never would have guessed it. He wasn't standing back overseeing the dining room; instead, he was in it, working just as hard as everyone else. He welcomed us personally, empathized, and even offered us a cocktail while we waited. As we sat nearby, we watched him gently coach the hostess in training. There was humor, kindness, and encouragement, balanced with clear expectations: simple reminders like making sure every guest is greeted the moment they walk through the door. It was leadership by example. He carried himself with humility, intention, and a work ethic that he clearly models for his entire team. Watching those interactions made me appreciate the restaurant even before we sat down to eat. By the end of the meal, the wait didn't matter one bit. In fact, after experiencing both the hospitality and the food, we completely understood why the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night. The service was exceptional. I'll update this review once I remember our server's name because she absolutely deserves recognition. She was attentive, incredibly hardworking, and gracefully managed not only our table but the many families with children around us. The manager also stopped by to check on us, and it felt entirely sincere. The model started at the top and was clearly part of their ethos. They were so generous which is why we recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area! The food was every bit as impressive as the service. The shrimp cocktail featured some of the largest, freshest shrimp I've had in years--perfectly chilled and absolutely delicious. The oysters were impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. Every dish reinforced why New England seafood has the reputation it does. Great restaurants serve great food. Exceptional restaurants create a culture that guests can actually feel. This place does both. We'll absolutely be back--and next time, we'll be smart enough to make a reservation.

They put tables less than a foot apart, and when someone is next to you, sick, coughing and blowing their nose into their napkin, it feels gross to be so close.

Got shrimp & grits and the shrimp were yummy, piping hot but the grits were room temp. Same thing kind of happened with the entree.

Once instructions were provided the waitress was also very considerate and friendly. I would start here drinks only. Drinks were good. Desserts tasted store bought. Great place for couples or groups. Small seating area holds ~25. Just 8 stools at the bar. That's it. A small intimate space but worth experiencing the creative drinks.
