    Well prepared food and attentive service. Anson, our server, was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. The duck breast and scallops were wonderfully prepared and the sweet potato salad combined some interesting ingredients for a delicious starter. Well curated and reasonably priced wines. Would definitely come back.

    Great food, cute location, friendly server! Also had live music- a bonus since it was unplanned-for. Since we had a group of 4, we went for the "small" island basket, which was 3 entrees and 2 appetizers on a giant woven basket / platter. Very special experience (and SO much food :-) Only downside was that we'd originally made lunch reservations but the restaurant was clearly not open when we showed up (on time for the reservation itself; half an hour after the restaurant's opening time for the day). Ended up going in for dinner instead (hence the "unplanned" part of the live music). Would highly recommend, aside from the owner's opening-up glitch.
