Our server Destiny was very professional, patient and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave us lots of recommendations which was great! The food was very good! Loved the cornbread. We had a window seat with view of the harbor, however it was cloudy so weren’t able to enjoy the view totally.

Visited for Valentine’s Day. Took a while to be greeted by the waitress after being seated, but it’s a cute restaurant overlooking the National Ferris wheel. The food could have tasted better. I got the salmon linguine. Needed more flavor.
