Bad experience. We were excited to try this restaurant since it had been "updated" from Napa River Grill. Unfortunately "updated" included dirty floors, walls, ceiling, and run down furniture. We were met by two messily dressed teenagers and seated. The light fixtures were blinking, cheap wayfair led fixtures, and they had to turn off half the lights. Server was polite but not super attentive. We started with a Caesar salad and the lobster bisque. Caesar was close to salad kit quality. Lobster bisque was so salty it was inedible. We didn't finish either dish, made an excuse to the server, got our check and left. I'm not sure we've ever been so turned off to not even finish our meal, just seems very poorly run. Wouldn't recommend or return.

We loved the tuna appetizer and scallops entree. Hubby said he would have preferred butter for the scallops instead of the bacon jam, but I liked the bacon jam.

The food was excellent. We shared Arancini balls and oysters to start. Our entrees included the cod, sea bass and scallops. The lobster risotto was my favorite dish of the night.We ordered lattes and dessert. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable. I’m not sure why but my husband’s birthday was ignored. I stated it twice on the reservation and after we sat down while he was parking our car.

We shared a side wedge salad and loaf of bread - both were excellent - my husband ordered the lasagna and he said it was the best he’s ever had. I loved my carbonara as well. All our servers were attentive and made sure we had all we needed. We loved the ambiance!
