Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable! We got the specials, a grass-fed, grass-finished ribeye and a cod & lobster dish. The clam chowder is tasty. The side portions are plentiful; we got the truffle mac & cheese and the brussel sprouts. Was way too full to try desserts 😬.

I had the seafood of the day (sword fish) outstanding. My wife had the sirloin and fries (outstanding). Service and all were outstanding. Go there for any special occasion. We were fortunate to find parking behind the restaurant. Make sure you have reservations in advance (e.g. through OpenTable.)
