    It was a most enjoyable evening. The appetizers were lite and tasty. The coconut shrimp was my favorite. My salmon was cooked perfect and the Kale salad was delicious.

    Came here for a rare night out with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed it! Arrived a bit early for our reservation and had a drink at the bar while waiting for our table. The ambiance was nice; dim without being overly dark and the noise was moderate despite a fully packed bar area and dining room. Food was superb…we ordered the coconut shrimp (not my favorite, but my husband loved it), spicy tuna roll (excellent), the ribeye and the roasted chicken were equally delicious. I think my favorite aspect of our visit was the service. Friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, especially considering it was a busy holiday weekend. Can’t wait to return!

    Great food. Took awhile to receive our drink orders before and during dinner. Felt rushed to order. Had to ask our waitress to give us more time. The speed of the meal was more like during the week lunch experience rather than a Saturday evening
