    Celebrating our friend's birthday and the dining experience was fabulous. The service was professional and thoughtful. All the appetizers, octopus, burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and endive salad were exceptional. The seafood entrees were absolutely delicious. My scallops, requested blackened, came out cooked to perfection. The pasta special with mixed seafood was wonderfully spicy with tender shellfish. Branzino and halibut entrees were beautifully presented and well seasoned. Coffee and dessert rounded out a memorable dinner. Thank you, Chris, Jessica and staff for all you do to make a celebration spectacular.

    The menu is excellent. Really nice choices. We ordered many different things at our table and everybody loved what they had. Our server Monica was excellent! That can certainly make all the difference. She was lovely and attentive. Can’t say enough nice things about her. The food was excellent. I haven’t been there in a long time as I no longer live in that area. But I will make the trip and go back again. It’s worth it! Thank you very much for being so accommodating.

    Great dining experience, service top notch. It's soft shell crab season and their special with sauteed spinach is the best. We love to dine here because we know that we are going to have a wonderful meal, no surprises, just a relaxing evening.
