Head Chef Richard Ptacnik’s menu is fresh, seasonal and produce-driven; sourcing the finest ingredients and letting them speak for themselves.

    Truly some of the finest food and wine I have ever tasted. Was a complete surprise! It’s on a wharf. We sat outside on a perfect starlit night. The noise level IS excessive- but, that is my only complaint. Perfect for a slightly fancy date. The desert was swoon worthy. A peachy/mango lighter than air confection. Duck appetizer was my main course. It was perfection with cherries and fig to boot. I had a chicken liver pate with cherry touches. Amazing. All of the pasta dishes are perfection. Lovely wait staff. Be sure to include a dessert wine

    Excellent food and service. Reasonably priced for a top end restaurant. The service was really excellent. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. A lovely location on the water. We would definitely eat here again.

    Outstanding location. Great food. Tasting menu was perfect blend of meat and seafood, without being overfilling. Sommelier was on point, waiting staff excellent.
