Since 1990, Chef Seger's use of unique ingredients, homemade pastas, and innovative specials has created a loyal following. His modern flair mixed with traditional culinary skills has created a whirlwind of praise. You will not see seafood options on the regular menu for one reason; All our Seafood is wild not farm raised and we carry ONLY what is available and offer them as our daily specials.

    Ashely was an amazing server. Super knowledgeable about the menu. The tomahawk was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband asked for béarnaise sauce and they made it for him even though it was not listed on the menu. The Mac and cheese and truffle tots were also flavorful and delicious. I had a specialty spritz (forget the name) and hubby had his standard martini - dirty, dry, 5 olives) which were also smooth and refreshing. Crème brûlée for dessert. They even put a candle in for my husbands 40th. Bill was reasonable - as we are from LI, and the prices are usually higher. The VIEW!!!! OMG 😳 I asked for a table with a view and they did not disappoint. From start to finish we were impressed! Can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience!

    Food was excellent. Every dish we had was better than the last. The appetizers we tried were the tuna crudo, shisitos, mushroom dip, tuna dip, salmon and furikake fries. They were all delicious. The fries were a unique idea and a favorite. The Temaki were unique, delicious, and beautiful. We tried so many of them and I would Order them all again. Faves though were the Tuna, the yellowtail with scallion, the lobster, the fried oyster and the Triple which is a huge splurge. We will Definitely be back!
