    The food at this place was absolutely fabulous. The night we visited, the air conditioning didn’t seem to be working, so it felt a bit warm and muggy inside, which made things slightly uncomfortable. That said, we were seated at a lovely front window table with a beautiful view, which helped set a special tone for the evening. Our waiter was excellent—attentive and knowledgeable. The timing between courses was a little off, the final entrées could have been served hotter, but the flavors were still outstanding. One thing we hadn’t realized in advance was that the menu is prix fixe only. While that’s not something we typically go for, we’re glad we did—it turned out to be well worth it.

    This was our second , and much anticipated, visit. The food was exceptional as before, however, it took over an hour to receive our second course and another 30 plus minutes for our 3rd course. While waiting we watched numerous table get seated after us and finish their meal before us. No one ever apologized for the delay. I would expect more from a restaurant that is focused on providing a top experience overall.

    We enjoyed the three course meal and were happy to try new meal options that we have never experienced before. The scallops were good and I had the best halibut ever!
