    The food is AMAZING, our server was a little bit aloof, she seemed new. BUT I would definitely go back to this restaurant. Again, amazing food and the outdoor seating is just great and the way to go with summer weather hitting.

    New favorite place! Pulled up to the restaurant at 5pm on Frida and got a space right in front. Love the interior—no one went overboard trying to make it a Pinterest board. The tuna crudo was so good we ordered it twice. Sane with the oysters. I ordered the sea bass and clams—so good! My husband ordered the arrechara (fries were crispy and savory, perfectly done). We ended with the crème brûlée. Tried both old fashioneds on menu, enjoyed the smoked old fashioned but the maple had depth of flavor. Our service was great. No complaints. Can’t wait to go back.
