text: I really wanted to give this place a four or five but could not I will explain First and what really killed this place for me was some bad mussels with my stripped bass I could smell something fishy and it should have been assumed it was my bass since it tends to be fishy anyway But the first thing I grabbed was mussel the was to soft salty and brinny I almost spit it out but for some sense of dignity which I regret I did not I do not blame anyone specific but my plate should never have come out of the kitchen of a nice restaurant that had slow service nnThat one small thing is all I can think about after I left but I will talk more about the rest my experience nnFood I started off with a duck and endive salad that was seasoned very well but needed pepper which I never got because I was not asked how my meal was until late into my main course But I digress Salad was OK My stripped bass sounded great on the menu Without getting into the mussels again I wanted my dinner to be as good as it sounded but in the end was just bland The house special hot sausage it came with tasted like plain chop meat and the rest followed down the same path nnService started off very helpful but after ordering I was more or less ignored I made a point of taking off my plate all remaining mussels and moving them about a foot away which at and decent restaurant would have been seen as a subtle hint to ask if my meal was OK nnIn the end this place has great reviews and I wanted to give it one but in the end it was really one bad mussel and poor service
