Patrons rave about the "amazing seafood," diverse menu, and inviting atmosphere. While some note the 20% service charge, the quality and flavor of dishes like the "parmesan-encrusted sole" and "Hawaiian Opakapaka" receive high praise.

    The food was expertly prepared. The super Dave sushi roll was excellent. The tuna main course and the black cod were exceptional. The truffle fries were excellent as always. Our waitress and Somalier were very nice and made the experience very pleasant. A nice surprise was that they do not charge corkage on Sundays.

    I do not like 20% service charges. EVER. They also do it so you pay tax on it. Do they keep that?? I HAD THEM REMOVE IT. THEN AFTER THEY BROUGHT BILL WITH TAX I TIPPED 20%. Get rid of service charges they are embarrassing. If people are cheap tippers so be it.

    What a great place! We had the ahi tuna appetizer and the crab cakes which were both excellent! The crab cakes were as good or better than I’ve ever had! We had the sole dinner which was also excellent! We’ll be back!

    Busy night and we had to wait a bit since the hostess wanted to seat us at a good table for our anniversary. Service was flawless and friendly and the food was very good. The prices are high though given operating costs and inflation, that was somewhat expected. A great place for special occasions.
