We made a reservation for Monday night. The dining room was mostly empty, so there were plenty of tables right on the water. It's an amazing experience to sit there and watch the boats go by so close. We had martinis with all those stuffed with blue cheese because that's what she likes. We also had a Kasserie cheese appetizer, which they flambé at the table that was excellent. This is a great place to go with a date
