"NEW MANAGEMENT! We ate here last night with friends and I had to get an update out here. The food and service were outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We started with clam chowder they make onsite and it was VERY good! Creamy and full of clams and potatoes. I had the short rib grilled cheese with fries - excellent. My wife had a chicken Caesar wrap and the other couple had a salad with chicken and the "Loyal Crispy Chicken Sandwich". That sandwich was big - it came out on a six-pack of dinner rolls so it was like half a dozen sliders. Looking forward to going back and trying something else!"

"Service was excellent, the food is decent but very small Bar menu. No real dinners . Bathroom on floor one only had one stall. Second bathroom is on 3rd floor glad I wasn’t drinking. Overall cool location!"
