Very cute! Good food option, I am pleased that they even have a kids menu. Scallops appetizer is hands down the best! Lobster bisque unfortunately came in a little below par, it was a little bland for me. Sea bass is cooked to perfection! Rib eye was lacking flavor. However, server Luis was great! Atmosphere was amazing.
