    This was our first time at Hook and Line. It was recommended by friends. Easy to make reservations, service was excellent. Food nicely presented and delicious. We had all the " bites" : deviled egg, popcorn , smoked striped bass, and fried calamari appetizer. I ordered Monterey bay black cod which was delicious, my husband had halibut which was equally delicious, our friends had the hanger steak with potatoes and black cod. We loved our meal and enjoyed the excellent service.

    Excellent meal. Our first time here and won’t be the last. We’ve recently moved into the area. We’ve been unimpressed with most of the local restaurants. Their food was ok but nothing above average. We’ve been trying different restaurants. What a plenty surprise to find Adorable French bakery and bistro. Food was well prepared. Ample tasty portions. Duck confit and eggplant tart melted in your mouth. Delicious apple tart dessert. First time in a long time where we had espresso which wasn’t bitter. Very pleasant and entertaining conversation with the individual who seemed to function as a one man show…manager/ Barman/ waiter. A little disappointed that some menu items were not available but what we ordered proved that we missed nothing.
