    The food, drinks, and atmosphere were so great. The view out onto the water is beautiful and the interior is decorated so nicely. Everything we had from appetizers, entrees, and desserts was delicious. The drinks were yummy too! But what really made this place stand out was the service. We had the most phenomenal waiter ever! His name was Michael and he was so friendly, welcoming, and fast! Genuinely the best service anyone in my party has ever had before. Can’t recommend enough and we’ll definitely be back.

    Lovely, delicious lunch outdoors. The carmelized onion dip was especially good and we liked our tuna melt and fish sandwich too. Crème brûlée and strawberry cheesecake were the perfect endings. Yum!

    The food was excellent from start to finish. We ordered a cheese plate, cheddar biscuits, tuna crudo, gnocchi, an asparagus ricotta toast for appetizers an each was excellent. Likewise for the salmon, chicken and shrimp risotto entrees. Likewise for deconstructed baklava and lemon cakes for dessert.
