Awful experience do no visit this location they will take a reservation and keep one at the table for over 90 minuets with no food served… then we were told (after asking) that the kitchen was closed and doing a lunch to dinner transition!?! And it would be another 10 minuets before food would start to be cooked!!! Really?!!? Why have us wasting our time over an awful management team. Do not take reservations if you’re not open for business! We were on a short vacation and this literally ruined one night since we left with no food and had to find another restaurant on a busy sunday evening which took another 3 hours! The staff was condescending and arrogantly rude with no honesty or respect for our time!!!

Sadly did not live up to expectations. The tuna appetizer was not very fresh and lacked flavor. The striped bass was cold and had way too much sauce on it.
