    Beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. We had a fantastic dinner. The salmon dip with thin cracker absolutely delicious. The spinach salad with a whipped mozzarella and warm beacon vinaigrette melts will have your kids eating their veggies. The main course we decided on was the rock fish in a light brown sauce with mussels and tortellini stuffed with crab and lobster. The ambience was great with a view of the Pike and Rose area. Beautiful night view. There is an entire area that’s shaped like a boat that’s used in warmer weather. We will visit for that experience.our new favorite restaurant. SEE YOU SOON! Oh I forgot to mention our server was extremely pleasant and gave great advice on what to order, ( WIN, WIN, WIN)! Unfortunately I forgot his name but if it helps we spoke about him learning Korean 😂. Sunday March 3rd 2025. He was the only server that we saw.
