Always reliably good food keeps us coming back, especially when entertaining out of town guests. We liked the cozier vibe of the prior decor but the newer redo is refined and classic. Salmon is their specialty and it’s in the name for a reason - done to perfection with just the right amount of sides. Great service always rounds it off. A bit pricey but that’s okay as long as the food and service remain consistently excellent.

Our waitress, Chloe, was fabulous and our hostess went above and beyond in getting us gift cards. As always, the food was great, the view was superb, and it was a great overall experience. So many thanks to all. PS...Make sure you buy your holiday gift cards here and get a bonus for doing so.

Our meal and service were outstanding. My only complaint is the same that I experience in many restaurants now- It's so loud we have trouble even talking to each other at the table. What happened to polite dinner conversation? I'm not talking about the bar area, that had fun music playing that created a festive atmosphere.
