Always try to go here two or three times a year. Food is always excellent and the service also very good. The scallops are delicious as are the brussels sprouts. I had to Seabass tonight and it was melt in your mouth.

The meal and service were wonderful. We ordered the crab cake appetizer and the lobster noodle entree. Both were fantastic: Very well cooked and beautifully flavorful. Our waitress, Wendy, was very attentive throughout the night and made great suggestions and answered all of our questions about the menu. We had a window seat so everything was perfect!
