The menu has a variety of sandwiches, salads, and different entrees. They had specials for the day which was fun. We ordered the crispy brussel sprouts to split and they were delicious. A great crisp! I then ordered the Ahi Tuna Noodle Bowl and loved it. Tuna tasted fresh with great veggies and sauce. We then finished off with a special coconut cake that was so moist and great flavor. Overall a really lovely meal and would come back!

People kept arriving the entire time we were there. We sat in the quiet, outer enclosed porch area, away from the busy, noisy bar. Fresh seafood "delivered every day except Wednesday." Huge portions of decent food at a great value--my fresh, delicious, lightly battered, FLOUNDER Fish & Chips with TWO WHOLE FILLETS was only $18 cash!!! The guys were less impressed with (but still enjoyed) their huge 12oz cheeseburgers and Philly cheesesteak. We started with (rather humdrum) potato skins, which we never do. The bill came to $81 before tax and tip. For a family of 4. I think that's crazy low for all the food (no drinks) we got. Maybe this is what a restaurant that doesn't deal with credit card fees can be like? I'd go back if I were in the neighborhood. Heck, McDonald's would have cost nearly this much nowadays.

Contemporary wood paneled room with a window wall overlooking the river below. Expertly made martinis followed by watermelon beet and feta salad; and wild mushrooms with Parmesan bread crumbs, mint, fried rosemary and whipped ricotta. Both were very tasty expressions of the season. Our table raved over the tagliarini with a local beef, pork and veg ragu and a shellfish version with a spicy puttanesca. The menu changes regularly to highlight the best of the season and local producers. Sometimes it's nice to eat delicious food with no blasting music, at reasonable prices (app/salads: $12-16, most entrees high 20's to $36) just hanging with happy well fed adults enjoying conversation. It would have been 5 stars but for the forgetting of complimentary bread service until we asked for it during the entrees. The bread was mediocre and chewy. Our primary waitperson sort of disappeared for a bit. An evening special of soba noodles with julienne vegetables was really just a bowl of noodles with little evidence of any veggies. Regardless, I've recommended to about 10 people already today and I'll keep doing so!!

Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the specials. They start off with the bread service, a nice brown bread with homemade butter. Nothing is better than real butter.

Definitely skip the scallops it was like swallowing a spoonful of salt. Lastly the grilled chicken with pasta underneath was moist but not memorable. the dessert was the star!!!! the chocolate Nutella cake with ice cream YUM.

I started with the Caesar salad and they use whole anchovies rather than incorporating it into the sauce. Which is not my preference but is a dedication to a style I cannot discount.

My boss got pepperonis on his and regretted it because why on gods green earth would you desecrate a well done simple pizza like that. Beyond me. The wine was good. Our server was very nice. Surprisingly great meal.
