An amazing dining experience as part of my wife and my weekly ‘date nights’. We went for a walk along the waterfront before dinner. We had arrived earlier than scheduled so I called to change the time, which they accommodated. The service was exceptional and we were made to feel welcomed and valued. We had the hot seafood platters, warm bread and garlic butter, and ended with a rich crème caramel all of which looked fantastic and tasted delicious. Thank you to the wait staff and chef for a wonderful dinner.
