    Loved the food! Loved watching the planes. Highly recommend when visiting and I would come back. We are from Cleveland and live near the airport. As a kid, 1970s, it was a big deal to sit and watch planes in our car. So this was really fun for me.

    Ate dinner outside. The most comfortable chairs ever. Maybe the same indoors, but I have no knowledge of that. Also, a lot quieter, naturally. Our server was extremely helpful. No rushing. The food was great: we had shishito peppers and clams for starters, then the trout and the branzino. My husband liked my branzino better than his trout, just because it was almandine and he felt it an unnecessary coating. Then, great flourless chocolate dessert. Drink were good goo. Would return without a doubt because the menu had so many offerings, it would be great to try them all.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious! The Shrimp Scampi Fajitas are absolutely bomb! Perfectly cooked shrimp with a buttery garlic flavor, paired with sizzling veggies and warm tortillas—it’s a unique twist on a classic that you can’t miss. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

    Excellent service by our wait person Laine. Our dinner was delayed but well worth the extra wait. We split our dinner which thoughtfully came on separate plates. Our entree was compted due to the delay. Not necessary but we were grateful. Drinks very good.
