    This was our valentine dinner. The place was very nice! All the host were wearing nice red dresses, the got me and my husbands coats and sat us at a timely manner. Got a beautiful flower and a great table with a nice view, we got a good waiter that informed us about the menu and showed us some good choices of drinks and food. Appetizers were good! And the main meal was amazing! Had a surf and turf and my husband got a loaded lobster, and a strong lemon drop. Overall the staff was nice cared for our needs and told us goodnight as we were leaving. 10/10

    Food, drinks and service were exceptional. One meal was not quite done to our liking but the Manager quickly rectified it and made sure that we were satisfied. Exactly what you would expect from a first class restaurant.

    Everything was excellent the moment we walked into the restaurant! Our waitress, Lexi, could not have been better! She was genuinely enthusiastic and made fantastic suggestions. We started with the octopus and BBQ shrimp and then moved on to our entrees: Swordsfish, Cod special, almond crusted flounder and the seafood risotto. This place is a gem and we will be back! This was the best restaurant experience we have had in a very long time. 10/10
