Lovely setting, an oasis easy to get to but insulated from the busy street. A terrific menu of seafood. The fried catfish sandwich was perfect; and the roast asparagus was maybe the best I’ve ever had in the US. Severs are attentive and very sweet and friendly. A great lunch spot when you have visitors or anyone who wants a special treat.

Good ambience. Food a bit underwhelming especially for the price. Swordfish was dry, calamari salad needed more flavour and was also dry.
