    Really outstanding in every way- food, drinks, service. It was fairly empty and do not understand why. Really fantastic!

    Been there many times, and we love it. I MUST talk about the perfectly-seasoned halibut. So good. Three of us ordered it and couldn’t stop talking about it (or the rice that came with it). Drinks, including their mocktails, are always a hit, too.
