    "Smart Catch" Committed Restaurant

    We are honored to officially be the second restaurant in Connecticut recognized by the James Beard Foundation as committed to their ‘Smart Catch’  program!  

    We couldn't agree more with the James Beard Foundation when it comes to the importance of sustainably caught fish, it's the bedrock that we've built our restaurant's foundation on. 

    We're so fortunate to live in an area where we can make a direct difference in our environment by the way we source our fish and build meaningful relationships with the fishermen who fish our waters.
