    We're delighted to invite you to join us for a special dinner featuring Chef Linda Hampsten's cuisine showcasing The Feast of the Seven Fishes, an Italian-American Christmas tradition featuring a meatless meal with at least seven seafood items. Its origins are in the Roman Catholic custom of abstaining from meat on the vigil before holy days, and the number seven is symbolic of various biblical references. Chef’s menus are original seasonal dishes created for this occasion. Please join us for this special evening.

    We’ve eaten here several times this year. Before this experience, we’ve always had our meals come out in a timely manner and hot. For some odd reason, our food orders were lukewarm at best. It also took almost 30 minutes for our meals. The costumes were fun and festive. The place was busy and vibe lively.

    Very average, food lacked flavor, service was inattentive. Great setting and location. Too bad it doesn’t all come together- inconsistent

    Went there for Sunday brunch. The crab cake Benedict was delicious and so was the Polish Omelette. Lemon and blueberry waffles were delish. Would go again!!
