    Everyone, there were 4 of us, enjoyed their food choices. Service was efficient and friendly. And patient. We were seated at our table for over 4 hours. At no time we were rushed. While, at the same time, whenever we needed service it was right there for us. This included not only the waiter but the busing folks and the folks who keep your water glasses full.

    I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.
