    As a first time patron, it was great to enjoy an excellent meal while supported by a great team. Their suggestions were well received and yielded delicious plates to our table. The wine list includes a lot of diverse Spanish wines that are reasonably priced. Future visits are definitely warranted!

    Went for brunch with a friend. Food was underwhelming. Our black bass was small and improperly cooked. Our Dutch baby was gummy in the middle. Service was slow despite a nearly empty restaurant. Not sure that I will return.

    Our waiter Ebon guided us through the specials and all his suggestions were spot on. We loved the brussel sprouts so much we asked for a second order! The suggested sauces made for great compliments to our entrees. Raves about the beet salad and sea bass! It’s a bit pricey but we knew that going in.

    Great experience, great food and cocktails. Restaurant is loud though so affects the ambience somewhat.

    I wont be back. The bread was the best thing and that is not worth the price of dinner. I imagine everyone will come once and once only.

    Server was very helpful and attentive. The food was very tasty and well-prepared; the seafood varieties were excellent, with several non-seafood protein options. Very much recommended for date-night or for a pleasurable night out.

    Food and service were excellent. They did not have the fish that we ordered and proposed an alternative but didn’t tell us that it was $20 more. Aside from that it was overall very good. The smoked trout veloute was exceptional.

    Excellent server, food, drinks, and ambience. We enjoyed the coal roasted oysters, Seabass, Turbot, shiitake mushrooms, brussels sprouts, potatoes, and broccolini. We will definitely be back.
