    Our party of 5 had a lovely dinner in a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant was not overly crowded or loud (it was a pleasant day and there were many diners outside). We shared the hummus, crab dip and shrimp cocktail. Then the lobster bisque and French onion soups, both were wonderful, the bisque was velvety. Then the dinners, a steak salad, the sea bass, the salmon, the tomato salad and the wild greens. Everyone was satisfied and pleased with the meal, which was truly the backdrop to a conversation, easily held, as the room was quiet enough, but not empty. The waitress was attentive, high energy and kind. Thank you so much for our evening out!
