    Our dinner was especially spectacular and exceeded expectations. I was very happy with the service from entry to exit, the knowledge and hospitality of our waitress (Tabitha), to the exceptional taste of every single bite I took. I cannot wait to return to this magnificent place.

    Food was very good, and service was impeccable (well-trained staff) - clearly they try to emphasize service, attentions to details. They treated us with birthday/anniversary desserts at the end. Very classy. Only thing missing for the evening was we were hoping to sit by the pool dinning area, but they didn't have space available. Otherwise, their service level matches their price points.

    Absolutely love this restaurant. It was our first time there as they opened last year and we waited a while so they could get into their groove! There was four of us and we started the dinner off with the calamari and shrimp appetizer and super fresh oysters from the north Atlantic. I had the Arctic char which was cooked perfectly and had a luscious pesto type sauce on it. My husband had the seafood special of the evening which he really enjoyed. Our other guests each had a steak and they really know how to cook steak here, making the rare absolutely spot on. A shout out to our wonderful server, Garrett, as he was knowledgeable and experienced! I think what’s interesting about this restaurant is that they have no problem finessing any plate to the customers liking. Great food and service, we will be back!

    My third time here and the food continues to be consistent. The service is very dependent on your server though the bus boy was excellent. I will not try the bar area again as it seems the waiters/waitresses are not as attentive. I was le to believe that they kept a profile on guess but not sure if I misunderstood.
