For our group of 12, the service was outstanding. I wish I could recall our waitress's name because she did an excellent job! The portion sizes were slightly smaller than I anticipated, but everything was delicious. The scallops were particularly impressive, and I would definitely order them again!

The biscuits served upon seating are wonderfully fragrant. They are light and fluffy inside, with a deliciously buttery crisp on the outside. I must admit, I couldn’t resist having two before my meal! The hostess was very courteous, and my waiter was equally polite. I appreciated his efficiency; he was attentive and checked on me periodically without being intrusive. The cedar plank salmon was beautifully cooked—light, flaky, and buttery. However, I was a bit disappointed by its lack of flavor. The green beans were perfectly cooked as well, but fell short in the taste department. For dessert, I tried the cappuccino cheesecake of the day. Again, it didn’t have much depth of flavor, but it was still enjoyable! Overall, this restaurant seems to cater to a specific clientele. While the food is well-prepared, it tends to lack seasoning. They do offer a decent selection of wines, the ambiance has a rustic-chic vibe (at least depending on your seating), and the lighting is pleasant, unlike being in a dim cave. The staff here is commendable; in fact, they might just be the best part of the experience, right after those irresistible biscuits. And honestly, I couldn't help but indulge in THREE of them!

The service was excellent, but the food was just okay. The salmon was somewhat overly glazed and greasy. While there are better options in the square, it’s still a decent place to eat.

Excellent food and service. Our waiter was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He knew the menu well. Several of us had the salmon, which was perfectly cooked. I had the crab cake dinner portion (2 cakes), which was small but good with an interesting mix of tomatoes, okra and other vegetables around the crab cakes. Banana cream pie for dessert- several layers of smooth, creamy filling. We were in the restaurant on a night when the students were still on winter break so it was quiet and we had a nice, oval table at the front overlooking the Square. Reservations are suggested.
