Excellent food and service! Outstanding Salmon and Shrimp. Disappointed in lack of GF bread and no French Onion Soup for dinner. Found this restaurant as recommended for a quiet dining experience and it was SO LOUD that we had to use airpods and use our cell phones to hear each other. That impacted our experience. Probably will not go back even though the quality of the food was wonderful.
