Every meal I’ve had here has been incredible— a true fine dining experience in an unpretentious, cozy space. Staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is simply amazing. Great for a romantic meal, or for a special occasion.

I can’t encourage you enough to come here and try something outside your comfort zone. The food is second to none. Every bite has been meticulously thought through. Great fresh ingredients and a staff that truly enjoys working there. Would come here over and over again just to try everything on the menu. You won’t be disappointed. The octopus and braised pork belly is TO DIE FOR.

Really excellent food. Staff very friendly and professional. everything was prepared and paced perfectly. the only complaint – if you want to call it that – is that it is small space and if you have a table for 2 others are right on top of you. must try if you have not!

Service: impeccable. Food: Completely hit or miss. We’ve been here twice and have given it a well rounded shot. ~30% of the menu has an Asian influence, which is not the chef’s strong suit. Overall, if The Cottage stuck to their America roots, the meals would be a lot more successful. There were some very high points (see below), but overall I will not be returning. Individual dish notes below.

Had to ask staff 3 times to fix the wobbly table. Drinks came late at the same time appetizers were brought. Smelly napkin had to be changed. Food was insipid at best. Overrated.

We had the cod crepe, scallop on crispy rice, lobster spaghetti and the… I forgot which white fish, but everything was so delicious. Service was also excellent.

Great service, very accommodating staff. Interesting food choices on their brunch menu. Visually stunning plating but some items could use some work in balancing flavors and/or adding seasoning.

Such a great restaurant! The food is terrific here, you must get the brisket buns and the scallops on crispy rice. The lobster pasta is delicious, albeit something you can kind of get anywhere. The true standout of the meal was the martini I had- ice cold, just the way it should be served! Ambiance was great and since we went during Coronavirus it’s worth mentioning how clean this restaurant was.
