    Thursday night was the second time we dined here, after an outstanding experience on Tuesday night. The restaurant was much busier than Tuesday night with 2 private parties. The food once again was outstanding, but the service was not as good as Tuesday night. We had 2 servers, one tall guy and a shorter guy. The shorter guy was very cordial, professional and friendly. He took very good care of us. The taller guy was not as attentive, and we overheard him talking to the longtime customers who were once locals, that tourists don't tip well. This is a slap in the face since WE ARE TOURISTS! Suggest that management caution their wait staff regarding that tourists come to their restaurant too and our money can be spent at other places. That said, the food was the star of the show both nights. Talented chef who creates outstanding specials and a solid regular menu. Backed up by a solid kitchen team, they turn out dishes quickly and with great execution. Thanks for 2 great meals!

    We had a great meal with a party of 9. It was a slow roll getting started (having our order taken) but the kitchen was fast and the food was delicious.

    Their Lobster Carbonara Risotto made correctly with Carnaroli 9most use cheaper rice) is a scrumptious meal. Loaded with light, tasty cold water lobster. And last night's Halibut came under rave reviews, so fresh, light and tasty. It is accompanied by unique mini-hasselback potatoes. Awesome! But! Always start with the Seafood Salad starter. Lobster, shrimp. scallops and crab infused in a light citrusy olive oil. You may end up taking your entree' home! Sam, Zoe and the crew will take very good care of you. Owners Chef Scott and Jen will make your experience the best.
