We went for a date night and it was our first time trying it out. The food was great and you get a good amount of food for the price. The lights were different colors which added to the vibe but it was pretty loud. I think it would definitely be a cute spot for girls night or a date.

Service by waitstaff and hosts was great! Food was good but couple of improvements to be made- such as branzino was over salted and bit too much dressing on the crab salad. Calamari was great!
