    The Easter Brunch was our anticipated meal to celebrate with our daughter while in town for the weekend. It was supposed to be a special meal, considering the price. What we got was mediocre food, served barely warm. The portion sizes for the freshly sliced ham and prime rib was pretty laughable--I've been served much better on a cruise ship! For the $85 per person you would think we would have gotten a much bigger portion, not to mention hotter food. I was highly disappointed, as we were trying a new place this year for something special. Very sad. Our server was great though, and she was pretty attentive to make sure our coffee was refilled regularly. Thanks for that!

    Dawn, Thank you for your informative feedback. We take our food quality quite seriously, so we're sorry to hear it was not quite up to your expectations. I am glad to hear, however, that your service was satisfactory, and that the ambiance was to your liking. We'd love to have you in again, perhaps during a regular service so that you can see what our culinary team is capable of. Thank you for taking the time to review, as we are constantly trying to enhance our food and dining experience. Sincerely, Erin A.

    We came here for dinner for our wedding anniversary. The food and service were outstanding. I had the fresh fish halibut special and my wife had the duck. Both were the best meals we have had in a long time, culinary-wise. Complex flavors and prepared perfectly. The service was attentive and low-key. There was a piano player that evening at the edge of dining room, which made for a wonderful ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    David, Thank you so much for taking the time to review, and for joining us on such a special occasion. We take great pride in our culinary team, and our staff's dedication to high-class service. We look forward to seeing you again! Cheers, Erin A.

    I had the cioppino, which was very good. The broth had a great flavor, and the dish included many seafood, including shrimp, mussels, and fish. Sadly, my partner's dish was not good, so she had to return her pasta dish.

    The service was outstanding. We had a limited time to eat prior to making a concert engagement. Our server was very consciences of our time and we made the concert with time to spare, while not feeling that our meal was rushed - delicate balance...

    Had a lovely meal here today! Food was very tasty and service was unpretentious and efficient! We were greeted with a warm welcoming smile from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to go back - sitting by the windows had a lovely view of the boats in the harbor. Highly recommend!
