    Our waiter And servers were professional and pleasant. The food was excellent. My pork chop was delicious! The pistachio martini was also excellent. There was a fairly large table toward the back of the room that was extremely loud. That was the only negative part of our experience.

    Party of 6 for Christmas Eve. Dinner was fantastic. It was busy but the service was great. Great ambience and lighting. Curated cocktails. Noise was well controlled. Food was the star of the show. We were there at night so I can't wait to go back for lunch to see the views of the ocean from the dining room.

    Though it was a busy Christmas Eve, our server, Haley, provided wonderful as did Paul and Arturo. My husband I shared the Beet & Arugula salad and Shrimp Cocktail. The sauce served with the shrimp was fabulous, spicy with a nice kick of horseradish. The salad was lightly dressed with a champagne vinaigrette along with goat cheese…yum. For entrees we ordered roasted pork tenderloin with mustard sauce and shaved Brussels sprouts along with the Braised Sort Rib over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert we finished with Banana Tart. Food is consistently delicious and inventive.
