    Happily surprised with bubbles for two to celebrate my husband’s birthday!! It was a warm welcome for our first visit. Food was excellent (salmon dish and lobster/shrimp carbonara dish) and service was attentive. Decor is simple but the restaurant was full of people and quite festive. A real gem! Excited to return!

    The food was delicious but over priced. Service was impeccable. The acoustics weren’t very good. For such a fine dining establishment, they need to do something about the noise level. It is an easy fix. We had the grouper, chicken, and two types of steak. All were very good and portion sizes were on the large size.

    Pretty setting, festive vibe, good and attentive service but the value for what we had was way disproportionate to the area. Locals would love to support the area so give that some thought when pricing your menu's, please :)

    I hate to say it was great because less odds I get a table. Well run, servers and chef listen; quality abounds. We had salmon and scallops - not easy to cook - primo. Server excellent.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants and it never disappoints ever! The food is always amazing and very fresh. We like sitting at the bar and Morgan takes such great care and makes the best drinks. The desserts are to die for! Highly recommend

    Always dependable. One hour before our 7:00 pm reservation I called and asked to move it up to 6:30 pm. No problem. Staff as always was very accommodating. Food was good, service reasonably prompt. Presentation on plate well done. My only issue is that the menu never changes. It is the same as the day the restaurant opened.
