   We enjoyed the food - the sole stuffed w seafood was really delicious. The desserts we got as part of the price fixe weren’t as great as the appetizers and mains but they were kind of gilding the lily anyway after our full meals.

   We have eaten there many times and the food and service has always been fabulous. Their specials are usually great and it’s nice to have a change from the regular menu. We do not normally sit near the front door because it’s a little noisier… We usually sit in the back by the raw bar. if you’re looking for really good fresh food, this is the place to go..

   I have frequent this restaurant many times over the years, service has always been great. Today however I booked a reservation to celebrate a birthday, upon arrival, reception was sour, no greeting, no nothing. Got to our table, server came over said hello and shook my other person hand, who is white and completely ignored me ( who booked the reservation and may I add, I am brown). It was so obvious !!! For the entire visit, she was snobby to me and I still give her a 20% tip. After that experience, would probably never return to this restaurant.
