Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

First time in, waitress when taking drink order didn't write it down had to come back several times to ask us what we got. When she did finally make it back with the drinks, she forgot my girlfriends water. Appetizers wasn't bad, Conch Fritters & Stuffed Potatoe was the best out of the 3 we got. I ordered to New England Steam Pot, it wasn't bad, but the butter tasted funny, pretty sure was the mixture of all the seafood it sat in. Girlfriend got the Maryland Crab Cakes, she said it wasn't bad. On to the "FREE" dessert with any entrée, it's a taste of the dessert. Not an actual dessert. The size of it would be good for a toddler just beginning to eat solids, but not an adult. We might stop in again, for the Fritters & Stuffed Potatoe, wouldn't mind trying the meatloaf & Shepherds Pie, pretty sure there is a few more items I could find. For now with experience felt like 3 stars, hopefully next time it will be better.

When the weather is nice I enjoy sitting on the patio and would have loved to be on the patio again but we choose to sit inside where it was warmer. Always nice to have an option. Dessert is included with many of the meals. I saw a brownie, ice cream sandwich and tapioca pudding

We ordered here, through DoorDash, on New Year’s Eve. Our order went in at 7:01 pm, but apparently they had closed early for the holiday. They did not, however, adjust their hours on the DoorDash app, so I had no way of knowing this. At 7:43, a woman that worked there called and absolutely blasted me for ordering after hours. She told me that the entire place had to stay open for just me, and told me to call DoorDash to get a driver there. I told her I thought they were open until 8. She said they normally were, but not tonight, so to get something done about it, that everyone was waiting on my order so they could lock up and leave. I let the DoorDash driver that was on the way know that they had closed early and were waiting. When the driver got to my house, she said the woman handing her my food was super rude and said the same things to her about being closed and having to wait. I ordered about $65 worth of sandwiches in this order, and have been a regular customer for some time, but I can’t see myself ever ordering from here again. When we got the sandwiches, they were dried out and barely had anything on them. They really went out of their way to take it out on the driver and I that day for their own mistake in not updating their hours.
