Came here for dinner. Oysters were fresh, the steak tartar was awesome. The pork shank my husband ordered was outstanding. He was so happy eating them it! I had the sea bass with whipped polenta and it was amazing. The restaurant was quiet enough to enjoy a casual conversation easily and the view was as nice as always!

We sat at the bar which was very comfortable. Two of us shared the small fresh seafood tower for 2. It was excellent! We followed up with the lobster bisque which was a piece of art & like nothing I had ever seen before. My husband had the Caesar salad which was beautiful as well. We also shared a lobster Mac & Cheese that could have served 4. - all were very good. A treat for sure as prices are high. Enjoy!
