Our group of nine sampled much of the menu and everything was excellent. The King Burger could compete for best in the world. The appetizer cheese plate was imaginative and delicious. Both meat and fish are handled very well here. Things were a little loud while the bar was occupied but calmed down once they left. The wait staffer were delightful. The restaurant is close to everything downtown. Everyone was happy we went there.
