Great food, our server was attentive. We will definitely be back. Upstairs was crowded but noise level was tolerated. We were able to hear each other fine.

The ambience was wonderful. Service was on point. Drinks were well made and they also have a good wine list. Everyone's meals were well prepared and well seasoned. The red pepper soup was savory and flavorful, the crab cake was excellent and the zucchini was an unexpected nice touch, octopus carpaccio delicious, filet was cooked perfectly, medium rare as ordered, the salmon was moist and succulent, the swordfish special was delectable. Honestly, from apps to entrees to dessert, there were no complaints and everything was done right. Will definitely be dining there again.
