Service was great. We had a table of 10 and we were served in a timely manner. The food was delicious, as always. Our one issue was finding a place for our coats. Thankfully the restaurant wasn't packed so were able to put our coats at the next table.

Wonderful space and atmosphere. Excellent food and service. We chose the sliced tuna sashimi style and grilled scallops, and a few fresh raw oysters as an appetizer. Oysters were so fresh and wonderful and scallops superb. The tuna was presented differently than I have had before, which was delicious and so fresh. For our main dishes, the black cod and bouillabaisse were the choices made. Both were amazing. We plan to return.
