This restaurant is a beautiful spot. Cocktails were great, and the service was terrific and well timed, but the food needs improvement. The fish and chicken dishes served with accompanying vegetables were ill prepped and overcooked. Prices were high, and so plates should come out propetly prepared. Appetizers and drinks or less ambitious main course preps might be the best choices here for us. Will try again, but will order differently.

The atmosphere was upbeat. My meal had to be sent back. Too salty, no flavor at all. I ordered rock shrimp. It was about 2 shrimp cut up into tiny pieces. I had to tell the manager who allowed me to choose a different meal. Server was very accommodating.

The overall experience was fantastic! Food, service and environment were all top shelf. We’ve been there twice, a Sunday afternoon and a Saturday night . We prefer the more low key vibe of a Sunday afternoon but the food & service was top notch both times. The short rib appetizer is outstanding. My steak was perfectly cooked. The banana pudding is not to be missed and is a very large portion.

Wonderful meal. One of my favorite restaurants in GC if you want more than just appetizers. The main courses are great, hard to choose my favorite. Highly recommend the crab cake special, and the banana pudding is a work of art. Can’t wait to go back!

Great food, great service but unfortunately just had a table of 50 year old man-children screaming their heads off and that definitely ruined the experience for everyone in the dining room. Not the restaurants fault and not factored into the review, but I needed somewhere to complain about it

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for groups, making it a great spot for a fun night out. The noise level was moderate—bustling but not overwhelming—allowing for easy conversation. The service was outstanding. The staff was not only friendly but also incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Now, onto the food—absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. We started with the crab cakes, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, packed with flavor. For our main course, we had the Bolognese and linguine Nero. Both dishes were rich, comforting, and well-balanced in flavor, with the pasta cooked to perfection. To finish, we shared vanilla gelato and banana pudding, and let me tell you—it was heavenly. The gelato was creamy and smooth, while the banana pudding was the perfect balance of sweet and indulgent. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit. Whether you’re with a group or just looking for a fantastic meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!
