    We literally had the BEST experience dining here. Our waitress was new to the restaurant and to the PNW; I think it was her 5th day working there. She is originally from Florida. She gave us the BEST service. She was super personable and relatable. She consistently checked in on our, filled our water and other drinks. She was super eager to please and gave me the best waitress service I’ve ever had. I can’t remember her name but she speaks Spanish which was helpful because we had a native Spanish speaker at the table. She deserves to be recognized for her excellent service. The whole restaurant just worked in sync with eachother and the food was absolutely amazing not to mention the ambiance and views. We will be back!

    Great food, nice staff, only two small complaints would be that we were seated in a noisy area when other spots were available & I’d also say that the portion size for the avocado smoked salmon toast was a little smaller than what I’d expect for the price.
