We loved it! We have been there before and we enjoyed it hence wanting to return -but this time it was just PERFECTION! For a Monday night- a nice vibe. Service was suburb (I'm in the industry- believe me I know and I critique!). The menu was so diverse-it was very hard to pick something because it all was so enticing and delicious. Entrees we had: salmon, scallops and a seafood with orzo (probably the best orzo I have eaten) We will absolutely return. And when I say service was great- I mean from when we walked in (the lovely hostess), to the bartender (where we had drinks beforehand) to our server and then the final goodbye from the Manager.
