    Dinner was great. We started with cocktails and had the charred octopus app for something a little different. We ended up ordering the bread because it looked so good, it was very fresh, soft and warm and the sweet butter was excellent. My husband ordered the Filet, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. I had the scallops which unfortunately came out way less than warm, more like cool. I ended up telling our waitress who was very nice and got it handled. They actually came out better because they were grilled a bit more on the outside and hot on the inside. I would definitely go back.
