    This place at night is beautiful we did outdoor dining my man & I for Christmas Eve, I received a text earlier then my reservation time which was great, we got seated immediately. Our server came to us provided us with water and took our chose of drinks and explained certain dishes we had questions on, we ordered and appetizer came to our table at a reasonable time, we then ordered our entrees and food also came out at a reasonable time, our food was fresh and tasty. Took a walk inside this place is a gem, if your looking for a nice night out this is a place you should definitely try, looking forward on doing brunch one weekend.

    Go there so often. A bit too often simply because the food is delicious and the service is always good. Chris was our waiter who was super nice and constantly checked on our table. Food is made to order but def worth the wait. I would have gave it 5 stars but I asked for my meal without specific veggies that come in the meal but my meal was full of them. Chris offered to get me a new meal but I didn’t want to hassle or have them throw the meal away and waste food so I just picked out the veggies an put it on a separate plate. My husband ordered his steak cooked “medium” and chef cooked it medium well which made the steak tougher and Chris offered to switch it out and hubby chose to eat it as it was. Chris bringing it to the managers attention shows staff does care about their customers….. EXACTLY the reason why we keep going back. Food is delicious and service as always, is top tier. Their is one minor thing I did notice that I’m not too thrilled about is that they automatically charge a 20% tip already included in the bill. I know a lot of places do that when it’s a party of 6 or more however, it was only 3 of us. I ALWAYS tip my servers but I think I should be at my discretion.

    Came for Christmas Eve Dinner. Feast of the 7 fishes. We started with a bottle of Chianti Classico. We both had octopus carpaccio. So tender & delicious. For the mains, we had snapper with, clams, mussels & shrimp with squid ink pasta. Totally blew our minds!!! A perfect way to start the holiday!!! Joe, our server was quick & very personable. We were too full for dessert but enjoyed a double expresso. We haven’t been here for a long time. Atmosphere, sitting outside on the water was delightful. A truly, wonderful experience tonight. We will be back soon for sure!

    The service was amazing. The food was amazing. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto. It’s always excellent and we share the dessert of the crème brûlée bread pudding. It was the best I’ve ever had.
