Today's menu.
Al W.

Very good food, well prepared and lots of flavor. Excellent service and nice casual atmosphere. We drove down from Raleigh for an early afternoon dinner and this was worth the trip. We sat in the sunroom which was perfect.

Berkshire pork with a drizzled jalapeño glaze, summer squash, and scalloped potatoes.

To start with the good: the food presentation was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were kind, knowledgeable about the food, and courteous. Moreover, the sides were quite good, as the diced squash had a pleasant, oniony undertone and the scalloped potatoes were tender and delicate. Unfortunately, at least for me, I did not find the flavor of the food to be commensurate with the local hype or price. To focus on the main course: it was my hope that the Berkshire pork with jalapeño glaze would carry a distinct and memorable flavor. But, while tender, the taste itself was underwhelming, and I have a hard time distinguishing it from any other run-of-the-mill seared pork chop. Ultimately, I went away wishing I would have eaten somewhere else. A shame.

Had awesome valentine dinner everything was excellent i had a scallop shrimp in a butter spinich cream sauce in a puff pastry. Clamchowder is a must loaded with clams more clams than vegtables with a right creamy texture. My wife had the crab cake and shrimp meal equally as awesome. Great wine and specialty drink selection. Chochalate martini was perfect dessert. My wifes irish coffee topped with thick fresh made cream from the kitchen. On the square made my wife feel like she was really treated special. Thank you
