    Happy hour pricing is solid. All appetizers have some sort of meat so order without if you have restrictions. Grilled cheese is a must.

    The duck blew me away. Amazing. We also loved the muscles and scallops. Watch out, they don't have hard alcohol.

    Loved the food here. Anything with lobster broth / sauce, especially. Order lots and share - it's best played as a team sport.

    Pass on the steak- tough, chewy, and tiny! The free range chicken is a must. The mashed potatoes is to die for.
