  I've been to the bar a few times. The interior has received a nice upgrade since the previous restaurant. Try the Vasa wings and mussels - fantastic. I'm looking forward to the summer when the deck with the view of Newburyport is open.

  We were really happy to see a new place in Salisbury, we are frequent visitors to Newburyport so we were eager for something new and we were not disappointed. They did a fabulous job renovating the space and the ambiance was perfect. Clean but not blah looking.
  
  We opted for a seat at the bar and were primarily taken care of by Claudine, she was very nice and offered the right amount of attention, not too much but there when you needed her. She also makes killer drinks! I opted for something new and went for the Maple Manhattan, this was surprisingly not as sweet as I would have thought using maple, I really loved it. He went for his tried and true Ketel One Martini, he was very pleased to find a place that knows the right amount of vermouth.
  Due to a previous review we opted to try the chicken fritters, they were also excellent (however I am not sure they do not call them as they are (chicken fingers) using the word fritter, one makes the assumption they will get something different…not the case but great all the same.
  For dinner I had the Strip Steak…one word for this…YUM! And he went for the Game Hen and also loved it.
  
  Lastly and not least we went all out for dessert (I figure a proper review should include this). I unfortunately cannot remember the correct name, however, it was a pie, 2 mini-pies to be exact, a cranberry and apple serves a la mode, we were informed it was served cold but were pleased it was not because who does not love warm pie and ice cream!
  Overall it was a great night and we are ecstatic to have a new place that we will probably become regulars at…I’m looking forward to seeing it in the summer and hopefully enjoying some drinks on the deck!
  
  So since I typically offer one thing I feel they could work on a bit more I have to admit it’s always a good thing if it has nothing to do with the food…Parking is a pain in the butt. We were lucky enough to get a great spot out front, but we did come for an early dinner, when we were heading out it was hectic. They are doing the best they can offering valet, but it’s certainly not ideal.
