We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas evening dinner here. After a long day traveling in from NY, this was a much needed meal. Service and food were great. We will come again on our next trip.

Tje food and service was great. Ambience amazing with that beautiful view and December weather. My only complain with be the $30 charge for two scallops on our sea bass order. Way to much and the server never advise about it. In nothing about been cheap but the charge was outrageous and destroyed the whole experience. I think they have to be upfront with the extra menu charges and let the customers decide. Besides that I highly recommend this place for an special occasion

The service was amazing. The food was amazing. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto. It’s always excellent and we share the dessert of the crème brûlée bread pudding. It was the best I’ve ever had.
