Charming in and restaurant with several venues to dine at. We had past hors d’oeuvres and wine first for our group and others and the selection was presented well. Several dips including Trout and cheese platter were fine. Some at our table had the lobster roll, which was very good others had crabcake and the pasta dish or nice present. We would definitely die here again.
