    The plates never cease to amaze me. As many times as we’ve been there and tried different things we have not been disappointed. Lots of GF options and all 4 of us chose something different and we tasted everything. Fish of the day was steelhead trout. Cooked to perfection and very moist. Mushroom risotto and duck breast are also recommended. We had our always go to appetizers of octopus and fried calamari. Believe it or not we tried fried spam. We had it as kids growing up. Spam never tasted so good. Malia, our waitress, was unbelievably attentive, offering suggestions, and had unending patience. She was over the top. Can’t say enough about recommending this restaurant!!

    Our overall experience was very good however we did have one entree that wasn't served as expected. It was the scallop and shrimp  risotto. The manager did adjust the bill. So thank you for doing that.

    Cody was our server and he couldn’t have been better; personable and non-intrusive at the same time which can always be such a balancing act. He pulled it off no problems. Met one of the managers as well, Ted, who was great and jovial. It’s always awesome to see a restaurant manager touch tables while also helping their staff. Food was phenomenal and at the perfect price point. Thank you all very much!
