    My husband and I had a 12/28, 6pm reservation. The restaurant seated us at 6 pm. The wine by the glass list is fantastic! I loved the Mahi, it was saved on a delicious savory sauce and grilled corn. The Mahi was done perfectly. My husband strip steak which he loved. Spinach side was very, very good. Our burratta eggplant appetizer was out of this world! Highly reccomended. The beet salad was very good. Generous portions! Service was perfect. The restaurant was about half full, the bar was "happening". No noise complaints from us.

    Party of 6 for Christmas Eve. Dinner was fantastic. It was busy but the service was great. Great ambience and lighting. Curated cocktails. Noise was well controlled. Food was the star of the show. We were there at night so I can't wait to go back for lunch to see the views of the ocean from the dining room.

    Though it was a busy Christmas Eve, our server, Haley, provided wonderful as did Paul and Arturo. My husband I shared the Beet & Arugula salad and Shrimp Cocktail. The sauce served with the shrimp was fabulous, spicy with a nice kick of horseradish. The salad was lightly dressed with a champagne vinaigrette along with goat cheese…yum. For entrees we ordered roasted pork tenderloin with mustard sauce and shaved Brussels sprouts along with the Braised Sort Rib over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert we finished with Banana Tart. Food is consistently delicious and inventive.

Food was really good! No! go you won’t be disappointed if you’re a seafood lover. For four of us was under 200 dollars. ( with tip included)
