    We have been here a few times and brought more friends to join us this past evening. Remembering that it is a beach town and it is a Saturday night in the summer. I anticipated a bit of a weight and it was absolutely fine as we were able to relax outside and share a bottle of wine as we wait for a table to be ready. Once inside we were greeted with warm welcoming faces who remembered us from the last time we were there months ago. Sarah has a fantastic memory! We ordered quite a few appetizers and all six of us had steaks, which were absolutely amazing! Chef Lou did a fantastic job as that his whole kitchen staff. Chef’s wife came over at the end of our meal to greet us. They are a wonderful family. It is a wonderful restaurant and we will be dining there many many times. I recommend getting the fresh baguette. It was absolutely amazing. It was one of our friends birthdays, and they gave us a complementary dessert of some sort of banana foster ice cream sundae. That and the small donuts that were like French beignets (sp?) absolutely wonderful wonderful meal! Thank you to the entire staff!

    I know it’s a summer Saturday night, but we had over 1/2 hour wait for our reservation. No place to wait, except standing in entrance way. Food was excellent, service great. Noise level deafening. Will return during the week or not prime time on a weekend

    Sat out back, which was beautiful. Kitchen seemed overwhelmed. The breading was falling off of calamari, my “medium” burger was “well done” and a bit salty. My wife’s flatbread was doughy and undercooked. Bummer.

    Everything was lovely, but just very very loud which made it difficult to have conversations with people at the table.

    We sat in the garden out back. Lovely. I like that it’s a byob. Burrata was soft and creamy served with perfectly ripe figs. My least favorite was the Caesar salad. Not enough dressing and served on a hot bowl out of the dishwasher. The encrusted tuna was grilled to perfection and the extremely fresh calamari was some of the best I ever had. The waiter was friendly and did not hover. We enjoyed it! And thank you for all you did for the frontline healthcare workers during COVID!!!
