The decor is seasonal but piled on top of lots of actual olde tyme fixtures. The place has a homey and comfortable feel. We were seated quickly without a reservation at 6PM on a Saturday. Se vice was top notch. I tried the Seafood Pasta in light dill cream sauce and it was outstanding! Priced right. Worth the trip.
