    It was our third trip to this restaurant. All three times the food and service were amazing . Starting with the lovely young lady who greets you at the door- so very kind! We started with steelhead appetizer- so fresh and different. We ordered roast chicken dinner and a halibut special- both tasty and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Guillermo was fun and very knowledgeable about our wine selections . Loved it! Highly recommend this place. We have never been disappointed.

    The service at this restaurant was the best I’ve ever had. Thank you, Christopher! The steaks were wonderfully prepared. We celebrated a college graduate and the decorated our table and hand made a custom card. Then they treated our graduate with a dessert sample. It was quite amazing!
