"Hey Yelp, this place is open. It just changed owners in march. Wow these reviews are all over the map. Good food. Perfectly fine everywhere else. Photos: the scallops app and the pork chop appetizer. Ambiance: this is only for the indoor dining. Super charming, great view. Service: Sadly, meh. I hate knocking servers, but ours wasn't the most attentive (we only got one water refill after everyone at the table had drank all theirs and then an additional 5 minutes, in between courses) and there was another gap after we ordered before he brought out the wine. He also seemed confused on how to best serve our group of 5 and unwilling to walk towards the head to the table where 2 of us were. We also got bread kind of late. Food: we all loved our appetizers but holy hell are the salads are huge! That could be a main course, easily. Step that back by maybe a handful or two of greens. It was a lot. My scallops and the acorn squash crisps were amazing. For the mains: the pasta got compliments as did the sea bass. The short ribs and the salmon (not pictured, obvs) got rave reviews. Sadly , my Parmesan pork chop was meh. The pork felt a smidge overcooked and everything about it felt heavy. I needed more zip from the horseradish and Dijon cream sauce and pairing that with mashed potatoes and literally 6 stalks of asparagus is a CHOICE. Also, not every main needs to have mashed potatoes. Online menu isn't accurate by the way. There wasn't a crab cake on the menu in person and a couple other things were different. Huge portions by the way."
