I made reservations here after purchasing a Groupon voucher. I read the reviews and looked at the website before my visit, so I was expecting something a bit more upscale based on the pricing. Don't get me wrong, this place is lovely and hardly ramshackle, but some of the chairs have seen better days and the decor seems more homey than haute.
I ordered the salad and crabcake appetizer for my dinner and my friend had the salmon entree. The menu changes from time to time so the selection is somewhat limited, albeit quite fresh. The salad was delicious with just the right blend of sweet and tangy, but for $9, this appetizer-sized salad needs to be outstanding (which it was).
The crab cake appetizer was surrounded with a thick sprinkling of... dust. Yes, dust. What appeared to be cheese was the result of a voracious dish-polishing regime going on the kitchen. The server apologized profusely and reappeared with a replacement crab cake. This was decent, but for $16, I was a bit disappointed.
Overall the service was outstanding but the decor and food were priced a few points above what I thought they should have been.
