    Excellent food, cozy atmosphere and friendly relaxed service. Loved the scallop appetizer and main halibut dish / both were perfectly prepared with comforting sides, with a twist. Menu clearly identified gluten free options which is always appreciated

    Welcoming, cozy spot for a pre-show appetizer and drink. The rotating menu allows many returns without having the same choices every time, but the standbys of tuna tartare, Brussels sprouts and happy hour oysters are always a hit.

    Excellent food albeit very pricey. Would be a frequent guest if it was more affordable, but this may very well have been a one time visit.
