    Our dinner was perfect start to finish. We sat on the patio with our pup and were immediately greeted warmly and with a fresh bowl of water. There was a nice outdoor fire, soft lighting. Our server was friendly and on point. The food we ate was all delicious-salad special with Thai chili calamari, lobster bisque, sirloin, crab cake, beet salad, cheesecake and creme brûlée. The sirloin was butter soft, best mashed potatoes my husband has ever eaten and I can say the same about the crème brûlée. It’s a nice date night with beautiful views of the water. The dog friendly patio was a must for us. I highly recommend eating here and we would come back given the chance.

    The restaurant is in a stunning setting of one of the very old buildings in the city and across from the water. The service and food were exceptional. We were a party of four and seated next to a front window. Most highly recommended establishment!

    We both had the catch of the day which was a sea bass which we had blackened. It was cooked to perfection and was amazing! It was a little pricy though in my opinion. I had it the way it comes with 2 sides and my friend had it on a Kale salad, so they were pretty flexible in prep options. We got there a little early and they gave us a choice to wait a few more minutes for outdoor dining which we said we were happy to do. It is always nice to eat outdoors and it was a lovely evening, but there was live entertainment and it was pretty loud but still nice music -- just hard to have a conversation. Overall it was a great experience and I would go again for sure.

    The food was delicious. You get a lot for the money. It was quick and the staff was friendly. Local ingredients make it even better.
