    Wonderful service in a beautiful atmosphere on the outside courtyard. Food was fabulous. We had the crab salad, sea bass, scalloped potatoes and broccoli. All were delicious.

    We booked an indoor table but were seated outside. Upon raising this with staff, we were told we’d have to join the waitlist if we wanted inside (which was 2 hours). It seems they must’ve given away our table and didn’t want to fix the mistake. Food was good and our waitress was lovely.
