    Excellent variety on the menu, but not so much that you felt the food was being pulled from a plastic bag. Everything ordered was delicious with generous portions. The seafood tasted fresh and the salads we're amazing.

    Wonderful evening, celebrating our anniversary. The entire staff, atmosphere, and food were beyond exceptional. If not the best, one of the best dinning experiences we have had. A heartfelt thank you to the staff for making our night special.
