    Had an amazing Mothers Day lunch here. Great vibe and setting. Service felt underwhelming, server possibly needed more help from support staff. Food was good, prefer fish with skin still on noted on menu. Overall great restaurant.

    I made a reservation for one; despite my objections I was seated in the bar. The restaurant was nearly empty and my preference not to be seated in the bar should have been honored.

    The restaurant was somewhat better than the other places I visited I. I had hoped to order the teamed clams, but there was the stinky sock smell of bad clams when I walked it, so I avoided the dish. The fried calamari was fresh but not cooked well as it had chunks of flour in the middle. It may just be a bad night so I might return for the view a great staff.
