Service was simply outstanding. Food specials taste and presentation excellent. Table location a slight issue with noise due to proximity of main kitchen access. Definitely a restaurant to experience.

Our server was attentive, pleasant, and courteous. The food was delicious but it was barely lukewarm when we received it. We’d go back.

The restaurant has a great location. The view is excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. A couple of issues. First, know that the kitchen closes at 8 o’clock. This seems somewhat early to me, but maybe this is typical for this area. Being out of town visitors, this was surprising to us. The food was well prepared. The prosciutto on the Charcuterie board lack a bit of taste. The remainder of the board was nice. The beet salad is excellent. The fish protein portions are quite small. the wine by the glass selection is a little bit limited.

I wish I could remember our server's name, but he was AWESOME! Attentive and kind and kept refilling our water even after we were VERY done eating. I appreciate that and he was fun and recommended dishes as well. I had the blackened halibut, and it was WOW.

I came here around the same time last year and had a wonderful experience yet this time was very different the hostess was snappy and rude even though I was just letting her know we had a reservation the food was over priced for what we got to be completely honest 30$ for pasta with no protein is crazy on top of that my mom got a flat bread pizza with no cheese on it that blew my mind when it came out just over all a horrible experience left very disappointed
