Ate on the heated patio. Was very lovely and warm. White chocolate on rocks drink was great, food was good. I got the seafood skillet (like a sampler$ - most was delicious but it seemed some pieces were cooked better than others or maybe I’m just not enough of a fish person. It also seemed to have been all tossed and coated in garlic parm panko.The potato was also a bit lackluster - just literally that, a baked potato. But the coleslaw was the perfect blend of creamy, sour, sweet, and salt. So overall, 4/5 The service and vibes were wonderful, our waiter was excellent and attentive. They sang me happy birthday and put a candle in my dessert. I got the chocolate lava cake (flourless cake). I subbed the vanilla for their raspberry ice cream. Very yummy though too much food. I went on recommendation of chocolate desert options and ambiance and was not disappointed. Hubby loved the lamb as well, which was cooked to medium rare and was yummy. Overall, would def return, but maybe just get cod or a fish I know I liked rather than try a sampler version. High recommend still

Beautiful setting and food was delicious. It did not state anywhere that we only had 90 minutes for our table. Waitress was not very attentive, actually kind of short with us at times. We had to ask for coffee at brunch after waiting for some time and then asked to leave our table after 90 minutes while there were plenty of other tables open.
