Came here for new years lunch. Happy to see they had a brunch menu as we were craving some pancakes. The grilled Tuscan steak and eggs were amazing, and the fried chicken panini sandwich and lemon ricotta pancakes were also delicious. Service was very good and the water view was beautiful. Hope to be back soon!

The separate bar located across a brick enclosed pathway was quaint and the drinks were done well. The reservation was right on time and service was really nice. Our waitress was a gem, and checked in just enough. The meals (4) total, were all as ordered, came out nicely timed (following starters and salads/soups), and prepared/plated well. Definitely a spot to recommend and return to.
