    Our server, Kiara, was wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, attentive but not a bother. We were celebrating my birthday so she let us take our time between courses, which was nice. The food was excellent from the oysters from the raw bar to the scallop chowder. We ordered the seared salmon and filet minion for entrees. They were cooked perfectly and the portions were just right. We split the pistachio cheesecake and it was yummy. A nice birthday dinner for sure.

    One of the best dining experiences ever! The food was fantastic, the ambiance was great (right on the water), and the service was impeccable! Our server Johnnie was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. My partner has a crustacean allergy, and the restaurant clearly had a thorough process to prevent any cross contamination. We ate with complete confidence. Then, to top off the meal, they brought us a phenomenal piece of cake to celebrate our anniversary. It was all just perfect. Can’t wait to go back!
