    Beautiful ambiance, excellent food and service. I came to celebrate a birthday with someone who is vegan and the chef accommodated us by preparing a vegan meal just for us. I would definitely come again.

    Here for a bourbon night dinner. Service attentive. Atmosphere was fun and informative. Enjoyed the bourbon from Weller. Each pour had its own personality. The food was excellent. My table agreed the Chilean sea bass was the too course.

    The ambience is beautiful, the view of the water is nice as well. However it took 20min for us to be greeted by a waiter and the food was mid at best. The lobster on the Seafood Diavolo , had a weird almost slimy texture

    Service was horrible from beginning to end. They offer all you can eat crab legs on Fridays and they were not prepared. It was horrible.
