Came here for dinner, made a reservation via phone several days in advance. Restaurant itself is dark and cozy, music is on the loud side but not too bad. Food is solid quality, I can speak for the vegan crab cakes, vegetarian burger, caramelized Brussels sprouts and apple crisp - all solid menu items.

Mostly great experience. Service was very good, good wine and beer options. Shrimp fritters were tasty but very tough. Pea and scallion bisque was truly fantastic. Still trying to figure out the pork chop...chop was cooked correctly and juicy but the composition threw me off. Is it supposed to be a riff on a breakfast biscuit? The bacon was excellent but became the main flavor, overpowering everything else, and the mornay quickly cooled and developed an off-putting consistency (like cold breakfast gravy?)..... I don't know, I ate the whole thing so it wasn't bad, just can't wrap my head around it as a dish.
