    I don’t often write reviews—when a place is exceptional, I do, but if it’s not worth revisiting, I just don´t return. They write their own future on survival. However, I’m compelled to share this feedback because kitchen was great, second server was great but initial impression was awful. We had an 8 PM reservation, noted in the booking that it was my wife’s birthday. Arrived at 7:58, promptky seated by 8. Initially assumed it might be something special for the occasion, unfortunately mistaken. We were seated at a six chair table, odd for just the two of us. Still, we made the best of it. For the next 15 minutes, multiple waitstaff passed by, no one even acknowledged us—not a glance, not a greeting. Unclear if those standing nearby were working or just observing. At 8:15, I approached the host at the entrance, politely asked about waiting time to get service. She moved us to a two-person table directly by the exit door, where the temperature was unpleasant. Decided to return to our original table, and on the way back, my wife noticed a four-person table in a more comfortable spot, they allowed us to take. We decided to give it another 5 minutes to leave. Finally, at 8:22, Jake arrived and completely turned the experience around. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely improved the evening. The only minor hiccup, forgot to bring the excellent bread the restaurant is also known for, and I had to stand and ask someone else for it. The food, was outstanding—kudos to the kitchen staff! Every dish lived up to the restaurant’s reputation, and the quality of the cuisine deserves praise. In summary, while the food is exceptional, customer service needs significant improvement. The lack of acknowledgment upon arrival and the overall coordination of the staff left a negative first impression. Additionally, if you’re celebrating a special occasion, don’t expect the restaurant to acknowledge it—even though I noted it in the reservation, no one recognized my wife´s birthday

    I have been going here for years, for anniversaries, birthdays, and just because. You can order anything on the menu, because every item is delicious. I had caesar salad with salmon, my wife had sandabs, niece had brick chicken, and everything was excellent. The bread will knock your socks off also.

    The halibut is an excellent choice. The portions are generous and very tasty. The side dishes go well with it.
