We had heard such great hings about this place, and wanted to try somewhere new. We were the first customers in on a Monday night, were greeted very warmly by the staff, but then oddly enough with 4-5 servers and 2-3 peopole hovering around the kitchen service was slow. Hubby started with the leek and potato soup - it looked pretty good, but was incredibly grainy, and tasted overly of leeks, I had the potato cakes, and paid extra for the smoked salmon - they were tasty, but for the price not really worth it - there was barely a teaspoon of salmon on each one. My husband's entree came around 5 minutes before mine and one glance told us both that the mashed potatoes were definately not ""local/organic"" more like from a box in the dried goods section of Stop and Shop. Then came my mussels - looked very nice, although the mound of sweet corn (definately couldn't be fresh - too far out of season...) was worrisome. The first mussel was luke warm, I let it go - it was on the edge of the dish - big mistake. I ate in total 6 mussels - I stopped after 2 in a row tasted distinctly ""fishy"", just like you would imagine bait would taste. I wish I had complained, but the whole place seemed despondant as if the staff knew they were just ""hanging on"". My tip - if you are going to spend $70 on dinner go somewhere like Legal - jeez go to TGIF - just don't go here
Cons: No parking, snippy note on the door about using credit cards, awful food
