Fantastic. I had the scallops with mushroom risotto, girlfriend had the chicken fried lobster with mashed potatoes and spinach. Both were phenomenal, though I would suggest the scallops over the lobster just because the risotto was so good.

Service was personal and prompt. Our server, who I think was maybe the manager or host or similar, was very good with timing, being available without being overbearing.

The bread was good, a decent variety of both whole wheat and crusty white bread with an olive oil dip. The dip was a little heavy on the basil for me, but that really comes down to preference; it was well done overall.

Our food was on the table inside of 20 minutes, commendable considering we sat down at 7pm without a reservation. Both dishes were served at the right temp. You can tell when a dish sits out in service dying for 10 minutes, luckily both of our plates looked very fresh.

I found her lobster a little bland, but again, probably just my preference. My scallops were very well cooked and nicely seasoned, a little light on salt, but again inside of the range of personal preference.

Our table was cleared promptly, our server informed us of upcoming specials that were, amazingly, relevant and not annoying, and we got our check and left.

Overall a very good experience with my only niggles being minor subjective matters of personal taste. I will most certainly go again.
