Meals were served unrushed, which was great. It gave us time to enjoy the ambience and experience. Definitely going back. Side note: my boyfriend understands the restaurant industry since he is also a server at a 5 star restaurant. He was very pleased.

The Asian lettuce wraps were amazing, and the ahi tuna dinner meal very good. The clam chowder was very bland and needs to be served with more flavor. And for the cost of the meal, filtered water should be served. The water had a foul taste to it and all in our party commented on it.

I had the small spinach salad with grilled salmon & a glass of pinot grigio. I like that the salads come in two sizes. Some of the other orders were Flat bread (enough for 2), Mussels (not a one left behind, cobb salad (enough for 3)! All and all a great time with friends...

Our only complaint was the food was average. Also, we didn't get any bread or side salad before the meal. For the amount and quality of the seafood it was overpriced.... Also, plain white rice with fish is boring. Would have been better with mashed potatoes. Someone in our group ordered the chicken and it was a good meal though!
