    Party of 6 for Christmas Eve. Dinner was fantastic. It was busy but the service was great. Great ambience and lighting. Curated cocktails. Noise was well controlled. Food was the star of the show. We were there at night so I can't wait to go back for lunch to see the views of the ocean from the dining room.

    Excellent Christmas Eve dining experience with superb food, service and a festive atmosphere to top everything off. We went the route of all appetizers, which were cooked to perfection and bursting was amazing flavor. The hand-crafted cocktails were equally terrific and the 12 days of Christmas drink menu was genius and had a wonderful array of choices!! Two thumbs up for creativity and a way to set yourself apart from the rest of the field for holiday dining.
