Courtney was a great server and so was the hostess. We ordered their garden salad and onion rings for starters then chicken saltimbocca and roasted lamb for entrees. The chicken was wrapped in prosciutto with sage, white wine, mozzarella, potato purée and greens. The lamb was served with a tomato and couscous ragout, whipped feta, greens and lemon aioli. Everything was delicious. Parking was extremely difficult to find. Hopefully our car won't be towed because we parked in an iffy space. .

My eye fillet seemed quite small, very disappointed with the rice, not very spicy and quite lumpy. Most diners seem to enjoy their meal, a few of the potions were a good size with full stomachs, and leftovers. A warning for those wishing to use the disabled toilet, the door was quite heavy, and the lock would be difficult to use for wheelchair users, I don't recall seeing grab handles either.

The restaurant played cozy jazz music. The food came in almost immediately. The calamari salad was toasty and crunchy. The feta gave it a good kick with the greens. The seafood salad was thick and well portioned. The ciabatta that came with it was toasted right with some butter. The beef salad was supposed to be served warm on top of the salad as described in the menu, but it came in room temperature maybe because it was drenched in their secret sauce. It tasted like a thick Italian dressing with a tad of heat. The portioning was enough since we didn't want to have a heavy dinner being so late at night. I give it a four star for the quality of food. Nothing exceptionally extraordinary. My friend came here and had the seafood salad and would come back for it.

It's right by the water with view of different boats and little bit of nightlife surrounding. The place was very busy, but we were able to get seated right away outside and thankfully, they did have the heated lamp for us. We have shared the seafood platter, which came with variety of oysters, clams, shrimp, and sashimi. Honestly, the quality of any of these were not up to par. Especially for the price that you're paying here you should probably be better getting some steak. I didn't think the seafood was fresh. The service was ok, nothing really stood out.

It was ok, but that's what I get for ordering a land animal at a seafood restaurant. Overall, excellent visit!
