Located in the old "Full Harvest" restaurant, the decor hasn't changed - which is not a bad thing. Dining room is cozy with a nice fireplace. Wait staff are very friendly and professional. (Thanks, Nichole. Sorry, forgot the other girl's name)I like that they change up the menu and add new dishes from time to time. We've been here twice now. My wife and son liked the food, I was mixed. Rolls are served warm with a roasted red pepper tapenade - which was very nice. The beet salad with greens and goat cheese was quite good and very tasty, if a little small. We both enjoyed the Empanadas.The first time I had pan seared "Scallops over Risotto", which I thought was a little bland. It needed something but a couple shakes of salt fixed that. The second time I had Bouillabaisse. The "broth" was MUCH thicker than expected (almost tomato sauce) and was served with green fettuccine. In contrast with the Scallops and Risotto, this dish was way over-salted. I would not order this again.On the other hand, my son very much enjoyed his "Navarin of Lamb" and then the "New York steak". My wife had the "Penne de dolce" and then the "chicken tikka masala" - both excellent. We did not try the desserts so cannot comment on that. We'll go back. I think they're still working some things out on the menu.

My husband,adult daughter and I went on a Friday night. I made reservations last minute, but they were only moderately busy. I had a bowl of lobster bisque, which was just all right while my daughter had the French onion, which was good. For meals, my husband had the scallops and shrimp over penne which was very good, my daughter the swordfish which also was very good. I had an artichoke appetizer for my meal, which I did not care for. When it was time to clear the table, I had only eaten a piece of one artichoke. The waiter asked if I would like them wrapped and I told him no, that was ok. He asked me if I did not like them. I responded "not so much", but felt I had just ordered wrong. When he came back with the bill, he informed us that he had taken it off the bill. Great PR as far as I'm concerned. Will definitely go back, especially since I saw they have a patio!!! I might add my vodka martini was very good as well and my daughter enjoyed her wine.

Came for lunch, ordered the fried calimari and grilled quail, both appetizers. Fried calimari was very good and tender. Quail was overcooked and dry, very spicy. Service was very friendly. This is not fast food. Took about an hour from start to finish. Plan on spending some time.

What a great experience inside and out!! This place has been here many years and under different names, but it's this name I will remember. Ample parking for the restaurant size right there on Route 34. There is an indoor eating area, three season patio and outdoor deck on the Housy. The place was neat the staff friendly and hospital throughout our visit. The waiter was very knowledgeable and professional as well. The menu was just right for lunchtime. My steak salad was delicious, the cheeseboard was amazing and diverse, the wine on point and the view splendid. The wife enjoyed her salad and chowder and the experience as well. Would return to check out other meal options. Why not, it's only a stones throw away.
