We had a wonderful dinner with family members from out of town. My husband and l had been here a few times, including the original restaurant near F&M. ALWAYS wonderful fresh fish and seafood. Our server was great and very attentive. Great cocktails, wine and appetizers to start. We all had different types of fish- all beautifully prepared. The branzino fileted table side was amazing to watch. We had the best time and will return again!

Our meal was fabulous, as is typical. Our waiter, Benjamin, and those supporting him, were outstanding. There were 9 people in our party from ages 4 to 71 and everyone agreed that this was our best meal there. Everyone went out of their way to seat us in a beautiful setting and meet our dietary needs to be sesame free in order to ensure the safety of one person in our party. Thank you for a memorable meal before a night at the Fulton Theater.

Our waiter Corey was excellent. He made our son’s 21th birthday very memorable and suggested a good wine to pair with our dinner which we got a bottle.
