    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

    This place is awesome in an awesome location. Everything is fresh and authentic. The service is out of this world! The waitress would come over and pour or bottle of wine they even answered any questions we had. The owner came up to our table and greeted us! This place felt homey in an area that has changed so much over the years. I would definitely recommend this for any date night, out with friends or a family outing.
