This restaurant is consistently good. We can depend on a delicious meal here. We went early to dine and the service was excellent. We were met by a woman who greeted us with joy, which is always a good start. The menu is easy to follow, and it seems we gravitate to our favorites. Him - Fish & Chips. O Sea makes the most delicious French Fries. I had the Black Cod with Sweet Potatoes, but not ordinary SP, these were bathed in a delicious sauce with layers of flavor. Perfect for swathing a few French Fries through. Divine!

Bartenders and servers were very attentive and kind, the place is overall gorgeous and unique looking, we really enjoyed the speakeasy downstairs as well I believe the bartender downstairs name was Phil? And he played some oldie speakeasy vibes music that really made it feel like an actual speakeasy. Food and drinks were delicious!! I think my only “complaint” was that our slider buns were a little bit too toasty for my taste. Definitely will be trying a brunch here next time!!
