The new interior is beautiful and I loved being in a booth. We were expecting more seafood but the tuna Niçoise salad was delicious and my friend said the calamari was okay and her green salad had very plain dressing which is exactly what I liked about my salad. So I would have to say try it for yourself. If you’re in the area it’s worth a try.

Popular place, good food, excellent service. Unfortunately, it's very loud. The place is apparently meant for fun and good times at volume, but not for conversation so we wound up shouting across the table.
