    It was not too crowded while we were there so we had a table by the window overlooking the river as requested. The dining room is lovely and quiet despite having people seated around us. It was nice to look out the window at the water flowing by and watch the seals as they jumped up onto the dock on the opposite side of the river. Our waitress, Cora, was friendly, polite and checked in on us frequently but not too much so. Our drinks and appetizer arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The crab cakes were tasty and the dressing on the accompanying side “salad” was very good. We also received a basket of fresh, warm sourdough bread, which was also very good. I ordered the mahi mahi with a miso glaze and wasabi mashed potatoes. The fish was cooked perfectly and the glaze was good. The mashed potatoes had a mild wasabi flavor and were a little on the dry side. It said it came with seasonal vegetables but I only had a couple pieces of bok choy on the plate. My husband ordered the pan seared petrale sole which had a lemon caper butter sauce and was excellent. The mashed potatoes were perfectly cooked. His also said it came with seasonal vegetables but he also received just a couple pieces of bok choy. The lava cake dessert was delicious. The helping sizes are generous and the prices on the moderately high side, but not as much as some of the other restaurants around the area. The rest of their menu looked good and I would definitely eat there again.
