    I thought the food was good but the blackened fish wasn’t “blackened “ at all. There’s definitely a difference not only visually but in taste - big time. I liked everything else. The staff was super nice and I always like eating on the water.

    We were seated at a beautiful banquette table with a lovely view of the dining room. Our waitress was quiet, thorough, and so helpful . The sea bass was probably the best fish I’ve ever had with miso butter, mushrooms and asparagus . My husband had the best steak he has ever eaten - boneless strip steak au poivre with chambord cream cooked perfectly medium rare. We have already booked our next reservation there.

    It was Veterans Day and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I made reservations but it was not crowded to my surprise. The bartender was very friendly, polite and professional. The attendant at the entrance was very nice and friendly! They were short staffed but you could not tell because the team worked well with each other even the front lobby attendant was serving tables and handling her position at the front! The manager was even out on the floor and helping…Talk about multi tasking and true team spirit! Looks like a fun place to work too. Food was hot and fresh, cocktails were made great and my gson enjoyed the games! We will be back! Thank you for your hospitality!
