Just what I was needing a quiet nice dinner to celebrate with my husband. Food was delicious and beautiful. The salmon came with a fettuccine and the sauce was tasty. They have a very large wine selection with wine from many locations. It was almost overwhelming to decide on a bottle. They have a wine connoisseur to help if you need. Tried oysters with pickled onions and lemon for the first time and was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked it. The staff were all very professional and consistent.

740 Front has been a favorite for years but we moved 40 miles north and only dine when in the area. Quality and service remain fantastic and the menu still features many long-time specialties. Worth the drive, worth your time, and worth the price. You will be surprised and delighted
