We celebrated our anniversary dinner at the Paddock Club after reading reviews and hearing from locals that it was a good restaurant.We were not disappointed. My wife started with the porcini mushroom soup, very tasty but could have had more mushrooms. I had cod and clams with chorizo and toasted bread. This was very good but only had 3 little neck clams.I would have liked a few more clams. The cod was excellent. We shared a wedge salad.It was very good, everything you would expect from a wedge salad. Our main entrees were halibut and grilled half chicken. Both were delicious.

They had multiple beers on tap, and lots of great cocktails. The calamari was delicious and the eggplant parmesan was amazing -- big portions too! I like that their menu items were all classic comfort food options, with a unique little twist on it. I believe that the menu changes every once in a while, and I would definitely come again to try the other options. Save room for dessert!
The best fun surprise is that there was jazzy live music on a...
