    I hadn't been here in years and am happy to say it is still a good experience. Attentive staff, cosy ambiance, classic food and great cocktails. We will be back.

    Fabulous meal and excellent service. My only complaint was we were so close to the next table we could hear their entire conversation which was a bit distracting from our own.

    Such a dated and worn interior but the view is lovely for a special occasion! Our seafood specials (snapper and salmon and mussels) were excellent entrees. However, my cocktail (old fashioned) was terrible, the bread is poor quality, that mashed garlic needs help so our meal started off on a disappointing track. The booth seating was uncomfortable and could have used back pillows. BUt, did I say how wonderful the view and the seafood was?! They also gave us a small ice cream dessert with candle to celebrate our 24th anniversary which was lovely. Service was top notch. So… mixed review!
