    Awesome experience and better seafood than when we lived in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, with the best view of a city anywhere. Wonderful service, too. Thank you for such a memorable evening.

    If you are looking for an amazing meal with a view to boot, this is your place! Order all the appetizers and the crab cakes!!! Best crab cakes I’ve ever had! Our waitress was very sweet and helpful with the menu. The brussel sprouts were incredible, but too much for two people and a meal. Would highly recommended!

    James was an exceptional server/bartender/Sommelier/hostess! He gave perfect recommendations to pair with our starters and meals. The Norwegian Halibut was amazing! The evening was extremely special celebrating our dad’s birthday. It was sweet and memorable to have two daddy daughter dates as well. Molly also was so sweet! We will definitely come back! Thank you and Happy Holidays!

    Had a wonderful night! Service was great from start to finish. Renaud was an amazing server, very attentive and gave great recommendations. I have celiac and really appreciate them going the extra mile of making me gluten free bread and having plenty of gluten free options, including gluten free crab cake. A perfect celebration spot!

    When we arrived the older lady at the hostess stand seating people was rather rude which set the tone for me for the rest of the dinner. We had kindly asked if there would be any chance to request a table by the window and she put her arms up and rather rudely said “we can’t guarantee that with all these people here”…but the thing of it was it was only 4:20pm and there were only two other parties waiting to be sat and the entire restaurant quite open. We had our teenage daughters with us…and thought we would be sat in the larger open dining room like everyone else but then they took us down stairs into a darker room away from absolutely everyone else which felt like we were being discriminated against. My husband and kids enjoyed their food but my steak fell flat on flavor and texture. We are from Nebraska, are well traveled and dine at many nice restaurants. This steak was sub par.
