Our server was one of the best ever. Well trained and friendly. Our meals were well presented. However my salmon was subpar. It was overcooked and dry. Honestly, it was probably the worse salmon that I have had in a restaurant. I did not finish it.

Service was excellent. Food was delicious. It's in the perfect location at the corner of the park and being on the corner gives it Windows wrapping all around so plenty of light and use of what's going on in town
