    Great food and service. It was my 72nd birthday dinner with friends and family and it could not have been more enjoyable.

    Usually I would post 5 stars, as I’ve been here many times and always have a great experience. Tonight I posted 3 stars, because the hostess didn’t know that I requested in my reservation to be seated by the water. It was my mom’s first time, and I knew she would love sitting by the water. Instead, we were seated in the bar area with loud music. Not what I had envisioned. It was also 4pm, and all the tables were empty. But the hostess made it seem like it would be a problem to be seated by the water, so we didn’t push the issue with her. She also seemed very indifferent and not very accommodating when I pointed out that I had requested a table by the water in advance. The hostess gets 2-3 stars, and our server gets 5 stars. The sea bass was also not cooked fully and my mom couldn’t finish it because of that. So, not as great as my other experiences at this restaurant.

    Had a birthday dinner here and can’t wait to go back! The atmosphere, The service, and the food were all beyond amazing! Fine dining at its finest. The staff really makes the environment so enjoyable and welcoming. With the celebration of the birthday, the whole experience felt very personalized and there was not one staff member that did not say happy birthday whether they were refilling our glasses or dropping off an appetizer. All the food items we ordered were delivered in a timely manner and cooked to perfection!
