Nice looking restaruant, not too far from the seawall. The tasting menu is great, and the staff were all freindly and knowledgable about the dishes. One small downside is that there isn't an area to hand coats. And the chairs (as comfortable as they are), aren't a great shape for keeping coats/jackets from falling on the floor.
