Yummy food in a cute setting, surprised my partner who is not the biggest seafood fan how much he enjoyed his rainbow trout. Unique flavour combos with well-thought-out accompaniments

Pre-theater dinner. We were quickly seated and our server arrived promptly and cheerfully. Two of us had familiar favorites which did not disappoint, two had new to us combinations involving scallops and shrimp. Both were richly flavored and enjoyable.
