    Very nice decor and atmosphere. Excellent service. Extensive liquor/wine collection. Menu is eclectic, ranging from reasonable to expensive. Food was over-salted which overpowered flavors.

    Love sitting in the outdoor area where it’s a quieter. Service was fantastic and food was delicious. The eggplant and zucchini slices have quickly become a favorite appetizer.

    An amazing make-over. The change from the Fishery is nothing short of remarkable. Classy, comfortable, dark wood, warm feel. The "parlor room" is quiet, romantic, elegant. Perfect for a special night. Later on, the bar area gets lively, a little noisy. Great wine list. A little pricey, but well worth it. Just go and enjoy.

    In a word superb, my wife and I dined here a couple of weeks ago and it was so impressive that I had to return myself. The ambiance is upscale with a nice inviting vibe and hand-crafted cocktails that are mouth-watering. The beef tartar had a unique array of flavors that played perfectly together and invigorated your taste buds. The Chilean sea bass was unbelievable, literally fell apart without even using my fork and was paired perfectly with a purple potato puree and Bok Choy. The final note, was an outstanding and most decedent chocolate mousse with pistachio nuts followed by an espresso martini. Amazing dining experience and I look forward to my visit and you should put it on your list!!
