    We were initially set in a booth next to a large birthday party. Since we were meeting friends and wanted to talk, we knew the party would be too loud. Asked the hostess if she could move and was so nice and accommodating. Sat on the other side of the room with a partition between the party. Had a great conversation with our friends.

    This was our first time dining here and it was outstanding. I loved the crab and avocado salad - the lettuce was so fresh. The eggplant Parmesan was in Enid the best I have had, an unexpected treat at a seafood restaurant. We will definitely go back when visiting the area again.

    Wait staff was excellent and the food was outstanding. Proportions perhaps a tad small for the price but overall a great experience.

    I treated a real estate customer to lunch to celebrate the sale of her home. We were seated outside with pond view as requested. I had the Mediterranean platter and my guest ordered the ahi tuna salad. We were both pleased with our choices although I felt the price of the salad was high given the portion size. Andrew provided timely and friendly service throughout. Highly recommended.

    Service not great. Grandson received his entree within few minutes of starting his salad; rest of us did not receive entree for over 30 minutes which was appropriate since we had just finished our salads. Fish special not as described. Grand-daughter ordered pasta with just butter on it but received a red sauce; this was returned & corrected. IOrdered fried shrimp with fries & coleslaw; received boiled shrimp with shells on + butter sauce & zero sides. Waiter didn't seem to care that he mis-stated the order and made no attempt to correct this. H brought us the bill & swiped credit card but left us no pen to sign with then disappeared. We went to front desk & explained our displeasure and young lady brought us the manager who was extremely apologetic and provided us with a credit note for 2 free entrees next time we come. Manager was increibly nice and seemed to fully understand, a lovely lady. We will definitely return. Have eaten there numerous times & always had great experiences. Most of our issue seemed to be with our server who was fairly pleasant just placed incorrect orders. Suspect the "kitchen" possibly also made mistakes. Awesome manager!

    The ambience was nice and the whole experience would have been better if we did not have to wait almost a half an hour for our drinks and have our order taken. My husband notice that our waiter was burdened with too many tables and that was the problem. The food would have been better if they lightened up on the sauces. I order the tuna and it was on a bed of japanese noodles covered in sauce and to add insult to in jury, sliced the beautiful tuna so each piece could be smothered in 2 colors of sauces. I had to scrape off the sauces to be able to taste my tuna. The fish itself was excellent. My husband order piccata from a recommendation and again smothered in sauce so heavy it took away from the chicken. It had more of a cheap oil taste than it did butter. We have been here 2 other times and loved their food. This time my best description would be "slop". Time to find a new place while in town........

    We have had lunch here several times before and in general we enjoy it. The service is a little slow, but our waiter was trying hard to make sure we were doing ok. We both ordered the soup du jour which sounded good but it was a bit too tangy, a little less lemon would make it taste better. I ordered the vegetarian gnocchis, the dish had a very rich creamy sauce and i could only eat about a quarter of it. The young lady at the reception was very friendly and enthusiastic.
