    This is a beautiful restaurant that opened in January of 2024. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. My wife had the duck confit which was outstanding. I had the burger which turned out just good. The bar is large and very attractive. The outside patios and views are lovely.

    Just my wife and I enjoying Christmas Eve dinner before leaving town for the holidays. Seated immediately, our server was with us within a few minutes. The pacing of the food was excellent. Never felt rushed. We hadn't been to the restaurant in a couple of years and the prices had gone up exponentially, but I guess that's par for the course. One appetizer, a salad, two entrees, a desert to share, and four alcoholic beverages came out to $224.We enjoyed our night; the food was delicious and were out the door in 90 minutes. As an added bonus, we left satisfied but not stuffed.

    Great restaurant for a date night or catch up with friends. I liked the fact that street parking was plentiful and the restaurant had a lot of open space. Our group started with the grilled oysters and calamari. Oysters had a great buttery flavor and the calamari was standard. The beet and salmon salad was delicious and fresh. For our mains we had the Ribeye, gumbo, and pasta with scallops. The gumbo was packed with seafood and flavor, a must get. The ribeye was standard, but ours came a little over cooked. Lastly if you are looking for a cheesy seafood pasta they got it. I liked this restaurant a lot from the food, the staff, and the ambiance.
