    Very nice, cozy restaurant. Excellent food and service. Great addition to a boutique hotel. We’ll be back to both.

    The restaurant is small and intimate, they have a great cocktail selection and wine list with good prices. The food was good, but the chicken was not my favorite. The service was great.

    Excellent food and service. The inside dining room is small but very cozy in a modern way. The enclosed patio is on the other side and is also nice, but would love to return and be able to enjoy the main dining room.

    Have had breakfast several times here but this was our first and most likely dinner experience. The menu is interesting but the food didn’t deliver. The octopus was tough and overcooked, the salmon was dry and too spicy and the duck was not crispy. The service was average and we had difficulty communicating with our waiter. We were able to clearly hear conversations among the staff. The radio in the kitchen was also too loud and disrupted the dining room atmosphere. Nothing terrible but certainly not worth the prices charged. We won’t come back to this location but will be open to the Sorensen restaurant due to the interesting menu and location.
