    Beautiful venue with great food my favorite is Chef Deborah Scott’s skirts on fire!, Brie, mussels for appetizers with a Bella Glos Pinot noir! Dinner out before the Theater was served promptly with no rushing. Having noticed Chef Scott enjoying a meal near me on the patio, I wasn’t able to say hello because of my timing to get to the theater, but she is a wonderful gracious woman who in years past went out of her way to say hello to me while at Indigo Grill! Take the time to enjoy the sunset over the bay with the downtown skyline!

    I really cannot express what an amazing experience this was for me and my family! From the minute we walked through the door, the hostess's and management greeted us with a smile, the table with a view was breathtaking, the service from Carrie and Noah was unlike any other and the FOOD was more than amazing. We had the Tomahawk steak and a shrimp linguini pasta dinner. It was by far the best Tomahawk steak I've ever had and the linguini and shrimp was cooked to perfection. They couldn't have done anything more to make the experience any better. I give this place a 10 STAR!

    Ambience was perfect. Food was Great. Service was great. Music was good, but would’ve been great if they turned up the volume 2-3 notches. Overall, I will be coming back.
