    David,our server, provided expert daily menu special guidance to set the tone. Started with Oysters Rockefeller and riesling wine. Each of us ordered a different seafood lunch. Finished with a California Pinot Noir and creme brulee.

    This was our first visit. The food was delish and our server Jamal was excellent. He was very personable and patient with us. He anticipated our every move and made wonderful recommendations for us. We look forward to returning when we are in town again.

    Excellent food like they have served since the 1990s. Blue plate special, she crab soup, special baked in parchment paper, and the salmon never disappoint. Make a reservation, since it will be full. Minor issue - parking app to pay for lot outside doesn’t work. Restaurant staff said people always have trouble using it. They sent us to a kiosk across the parking lot instead, where there was a long line of confused people of all ages trying to get it to work. We were late for our reservation at that point, so I left and spend the first 10 minutes at my table trying to get the app to work again. You need a better way to pay for parking.
