    Service is excellent and food is very, very good. Always an enjoyable and delicious experience. The fresh catch is creatively prepared. The vegetarian item, vegetable strudel, was fantastic. Reliable wine selection.

    Lamb chops were fantastic! The chef needs to have at least one potato option besides French fries (they were delicious, too).

    The host and hostess were very rude and disrespectful to us. And embarrassed us in front of our good friends. We will never bring friends or business associates there again
