Lance was a fantastic server. Really personable, kept an eye on our table without hovering. Food came out quick and hot. Portions were solid for what we paid. Good spot.

The lobster ravioli. That&#39;s the one. The filling was rich, and the sauce had a serious garlic punch. If you&#39;re into garlic, you&#39;ll get it. Pasta itself was cooked just right.

Cozy little spot, perfect for a casual lunch. I tried the French onion soup everyone talks about &ndash; it really is the star. Rich broth, plenty of cheese, just the right amount of bread. The rest of the menu looks good, but that soup is what I&rsquo;ll come back for.

Got the quiches for a family thing. Everyone kept talking about them. Best I&#39;ve ever had, honestly.

Stopped by for lunch. The Greek snapper was super fresh, and the lamb chops were cooked just right. That yogurt from Crete was a nice surprise. Simple food done well.

The lobster roll was just perfect. So much fresh, sweet lobster on a buttery toasted bun. It&#39;s the one thing I&#39;ll be thinking about all week.

Loved the outdoor veranda for our little get-together. It felt so secluded and peaceful, like our own little secret garden. The service was really attentive without being overbearing. A nice spot to unwind.

Been coming here for years, and their babka is the reason. Always consistent, never dry. Grabbed a slice this morning with my coffee, and it&#39;s just as good as the first time. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years, and those garlic knots with cheese are still the reason. They never miss.

The tomato balsamic pizza was really good. But what got me was the crust&mdash;thin, crisp, and held up perfectly. Just a solid slice.

Veal piccata was really good, the side was generous. Looked small on the plate but I was full by the end. Nice spot.

Cozy little family-run place by the water. Friendly folks. I was glad to see a few gluten-free choices on the menu. Tried the GF pasta special&mdash;the texture was spot on, which can be tricky. A solid, simple meal in a nice setting.

The cheese fondue was so cozy for sharing. The roasted brussel sprouts and filet mignon were a nice touch. Felt like a warm, comforting meal, though it was a bit heavy by the end.

The fresh linguini with shrimp was the star. Pasta had a great bite, and the shrimp were cooked just right, not rubbery at all. The sauce was light but flavorful. That&#39;s what I came for. The sommelier&#39;s timing felt a bit rushed, but the food itself was spot on.

The clam chowder here is solid. Broth is light, not too heavy, and they don&#39;t skimp on the clams.

First time trying this place and loved the outdoor seating by the water. The old brick building and that vintage door at the entrance gave it a cool vibe. Perfect for a summer evening.

Had the blackened swordfish. The fish itself was so fresh, you could really taste it. The seasoning was light, which I appreciated. It came with a simple side of grilled vegetables, all very crisp. A nice, clean meal. The view from our window table was a bonus.

Service was pretty good. The staff was friendly and attentive. They even swapped the bun on my lobster roll for a thinner one when I asked. A nice touch.

The staff was so nice and attentive. Our waitress gave great suggestions, and when it got a bit cool outside, she brought over a heater without us even asking. Made the whole evening really comfortable.

The Nova Scotia eggs benedict had a generous portion of salmon, which was nice. Home fries were cooked just right.

Quick lunch spot. Got the chicken sandwich. Came out fast, which is key for me. Bread was fresh, chicken was decent. Not the cheapest but you pay for the speed. Good for a quick bite between meetings.

Good spot for a working lunch. The window seats have great natural light, which is nice for focusing. I had the chicken sandwich and a coffee while getting through emails. Service was prompt, didn&#39;t feel rushed. The wifi is solid.

My usual spot in the neighborhood. The food is always solid&mdash;you know exactly what you&#39;re getting. The price is right for what&#39;s on the plate.

Becca and Eduardo were very attentive. Happy hour prices are solid, and the food is good. A nice spot for after work.

Really cozy spot. We had to wait a bit for a table, but the staff was super friendly about it. The booths are nice and roomy, which I always appreciate.

I&rsquo;m a burger person, and their double cheeseburger is one I keep coming back for. The patties are juicy, the cheese is melted just right. Tried adding chili once&mdash;really good. Their coffee milkshake is a solid choice to cut through the salt.

Came here with a big group for a friend&#39;s thing. The staff was so on top of it&mdash;never felt like we were waiting, even with a full table. Food was really good, but honestly, the smooth service made the night.
