    The best service we’ve had in years. Would give more than 5 stars to Shannon P! Answered all of our questions accurately and confidently, brought tastes of wine we were choosing between, was attentive without hovering. Food was excellent — halibut special (only thing we could give any constructive feedback on was that the olives in the dish were extremely salty) and scallops for dinner, started with beet salads, ended with banana trifle. Had cocktails to start and then wine with dinner. Just the right time allowed for a relaxed dinner, neither rushed nor waiting for a check. Will return! Steaks around us looked to be cooked perfectly and bar looks like a nice atmosphere for a drink and apps.

    We appreciate all the kind words Erica. Glad you enjoyed some of our seafood options and it sounds like we can expect you back for a steak sometime. Our staff members always appreciate the personally shout-out as well!

    I was most impressed by the service. Top notch. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. They knew the menu and were able to give professional recommendations. Food was delicious. This was on the expensive side, but I'd say it was well worth it. We will be going back, which is really the highest praise we can give since we never visit a restaurant twice if we're not satisfied.

    Thank you for the high praise Joyce. Thrilled to hear you'll be returning!
