Our waiter Eddy was wonderful and helped make the evening special. All at the table thought the food to be amazing. Absolutely no complaints. Portions were large and all fish was definitely fresh not frozen. The Nutella brûlée was truly superb. Our entire table can’t wait to return

The food was good. We had a party of 4. In all we had 5 meals. We wanted to have the homemade gnocchi to share as an appetizer, but they ended up not having it. We ended up sharing the lobster ravioli, which was good. For our entrees we had the seafood risotto, which was excellent, the cod special (which was good but very small piece of fish), chicken dish and the yellowfin tuna special (was just ok). Overall, we had a nice time and will go back if in the area
