    We had a great time our meal was excellent, the décor and the general ambience is very nice and the food was great ( and delivered hot to the table which is not the case in every restaurant you go to). Our waiter was brilliant, funny and attractive.

    Wow! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. We enjoyed siting at the kitchen bar top and watching each amazing dish be prepared with care. For the two of us, we chose two shared plates (heirloom carrots and the gem salad with strawberries and feta) and a one large dish (hangar steak). We enjoyed every bite.

    The food was delicious and our server Lizette was delightful, professional and very attentive. She noticed a dish had come out from the kitchen containing dill to which I am allergic, before we dug into it. The local oysters are a must here, but all the dishes we tried were very good. Martin was also attentive with the water. Overall, very pleasant dinner.
