The food and service was top notch. Even though I only had a chicken soup , it was delicious and prepared very well. All ingredients were fresh and prepared when ordered. No frozen chicken squares that were warmed over or reheated. Great experience .

The food was delicious. I had the stuffed shrimp, and my husband ordered a pizza. My vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes were great too. My husband mentioned that the pizza was excellent—better than most places around. The service was great. We sat in the bar area, which had a nice atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

Can't say enough good things about our dinner tonight. One note if you are looking for a quiet romantic spot, It was a bit loud as we were seated between two different loud guests. Aside from that, our waiter was incredibly kind and attentive. Best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Toffee bread pudding dessert was delicious! Highly recommend.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The host helped us pick a table based on our temperature preferences, and the waitress made a solid recommendation for a dish on the special menu. The portion was plenty to share and included bread and marinated olives. The price couldn't be better!

First time here, the service was exceptional and the food was very tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant to other people in the Old Saybrook Westbrook area. Also the mixed drinks were very tasty and there is ample parking.

We recently came here for dinner and had a really good experience. We were able to be seated right away. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. They have a great selection of food to choose from. Both of our meals were really good. The prices are good and the portions were generous. The restaurant has a full bar. There’s a dining room as well as the bar side which has a few booths, tables and bar seating. There’s some outdoor seating in both the front and back of the restaurant. It’s easy to get to from the nearby towns and it’s not too far from I-95. Plenty of parking. Definitely recommend.
