    Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

    I made a reservation for 4pm so that my wife and I could see the sunset @ 4:47pm. The view was amazing. Compliments to Chef 👩🏻‍🍳 Kate!! Food was delicious and unique, everything had its own twist as far as sauces, spices, and garnishes. It was our 24th anniversary and our first time visiting this restaurant. We live about an hour and a half away, but it was so worth the trip!!
