    1st time there. The ambiance was very nice and under the sea atmosphere told you this was a seafood restaurant. I went with 2 of the appetizers for my entree. The Charred Octopus was excellent 👌 👏 the Oysters Al Forno was okay... I thought the Al Forno took over and you couldn't taste oysters or barely find them. My sister had the Dover Sole and loved it. My friend had the Shrimp Scampi, the shrimp were huge, she said it was good. We shared a fabulous Tiramisu for dessert... 😋

    Beautiful restaurant with amazing food. Our server Sarah was very kind and courteous. You could absolutely see she took a lot of pride in her job. Veal Ossobuco just fell off bone. Restaurant was so busy, but we never felt rushed. Can’t wait to go back.
