    I wanted to be wowed but left feeling meh. Yes, it was a holiday prix fixe meal, and they were busy, but the food specifically was really sub par. I had the lobster bisque, which was lukewarm, and more like a gravy. I also had the prime rib, which came also cold, thin, and lacking flavor. Dessert was a creme brulee, which also was cold on arrival. I felt like everything was premade and not fired on order. Yes, somethings can be partially premade, but everything here felt like there was no interest in making sure what they served really reflected both the craft of the restaurant and the concerns for the customer.

    The service by Asreal and staff was incredible- knowledgable, attentive, courteous, helpful, patient. Everything was brought to us timely. The food was incredible, and presented well. Portions were good. Of course it's expensive for us, but well worth it for the seat by the window overlooking the bay, the service and the food. Highly recommend for a special occasion. Recommend making a reservation and requesting a window seat.
