    We enjoyed our dinner very much. It was a limited pre fixe menu for Thanksgiving. Creative vegetarian option. Service excellent. Very pleasant dining room. Hostess was awesome.

    We visited the restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was tasty and served in generous portions. Dessert was akin to store-bought, sadly. Wine selection was a little on the thin side. The biggest surprise of the evening were the significant waits between “steps” in a dinner that was prix fixe in nature; it appeared that there was little organization/coordination among the staff.

    Everything was great! We were celebrating our daughters' birthdays and the waitress made it extra special for them. The food was delicious and great ambiance if you want something a little bit nicer than most of the places on the island.

    Although they were short-handed (no hostess, down a couple of servers) you never would have known! The team there worked as a team and hustled to make sure every customer was well cared for. The lobster linguine was outstanding!

    The dinner experience was exceptional, the food tasted amazing and was freshly caught. Our table started with the Watermelon Basil Martini and Skinny Margaritas, followed by garlic bread and manilla clams. Recommend dipping the garlic bread in with clam tomato sauce for a wild combination. Mains consisted of lobster linguine, prepared exceptionally for the price point, pasta tasted fresh and the linguine sauce was complemented by asparagus and sun dried tomatoes. I highly recommend this restaurant for an elegant couples night out and the ambiance is favorable for casual dining too.

    Great food and atmosphere. It might be better not to dress too casually here. That’s how I felt.
