$17 for a lentil soup meal. I'm willing to pay for it if it's worth it! I didn't find any lentils, until I saw two fighting for space at the bottom of this insipid watery broth. I also didn't see half of the ingredients listed in the description. Too bad, it's a nice place though.

$1000 spent on dinner for 5 people, with limited alcohol, to celebrate a work event and we all got ill within 4-8 hours of eating. We have explained this to the restaurant and they have confirmed that they do not believe it was their food. They have offered us a gift card to eat again but we have declined.

$25.00 for a pasta dish that used what tasted like canned tomato sauce. Penne all’arrabiata. No fresh ingredients and no fresh basil. Even the cheese was fake “Parmesan” instead of Parmiggiano Reggiano or real Pecorino. $48.00 for a spaghetti and lobster “special”, that looked fancy with an emptied lobster tail as a garnish and bits of lobster meat scattered throughout the dish. Very disappointing.

$30 this (attached photo) ? Is that a joke ? Order this in June 2021, the food was delivered cold. I get more fries from a kid happy meal at McDo. I haven't touched the food, this is how it looked. I did not expect that... portions used to be phenomenal. What a disappointment...

After a lighthearted evening watching & Juliet, we made our way to Scaddabush for some Italian comfort food. All of EnD Adventures was together — our daughters, friends, and the two of us — which already set the tone for a memorable night out. Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated quickly. Our server, Noah, stopped by early with menus and the nightly specials. It was clear the entire team was hustling; drinks took longer than usual, but Noah was doing everything he could to keep the pace. The space itself was a delight. Warm lighting, thoughtful décor, and those whimsical canned vegetables added a quirky charm that made the room feel inviting and full of character. There was always something interesting to notice. The fresh mozzarella — their signature — absolutely lived up to its reputation. Creamy, rich, and beautifully prepared, it was easily the standout of the table. Our meals arrived hot and exactly as ordered, and everyone enjoyed their choices. The only real downside was the long gaps between check-ins for drink refills or questions. With several large tables nearby and the restaurant buzzing, it was understandable, though still noticeable. All in all, it was a lovely evening, and we’d happily return — perhaps to a quieter location next time, just to see how the service feels when the pace isn’t quite so intense.

Not only a surprising location for a great restaurant, but an unusual sharing style of their tasting menu. Really unusual dishes served and announced at the table made for a great culinary treat. Really enjoyed the variety and challenging ways in which many of the dishes were creatively put together. I think this place will become a trend setter. Great food. Thank you

I just have to say that the service was phenomenal and so was the atmosphere. However, I was disappointed in their escargot and bone marrow dishes as they were both bland, yet way too salty. Additionally, their bone marrow had way too much oil, as when the marrow was removed, there was a pool of oil that tasted like nothing. Escargot was just too salty and needed more seasoning.
