    I’ve been to this restaurant several times, and it continues to be one of my absolute favorites. The ambience is always great—welcoming, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed night out. On my most recent visit, the appetizer was excellent, setting a high bar for the meal. I tried the pasta special this time, and while it was just average and not something I’d order again, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. In general, the food and drinks here are consistently great, and the service is always solid. Definitely a go-to spot in my book!

    Simply awesome meal and experience. The staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The drinks were creative and paired well with the menu. We opened with oysters and the clams casino and both were good choices. The oysters were fresh and left us wanting more. We also did the oyster shooters which were equally as tasty but the shot could’ve been wider and less narrow and deep. The main courses were terrific and the 4 of us each had something very different, the filet mignon, chilean sea bass, scallops and seafood pasta. I never pass up desert and they were a great way to end a really nice meal.
