The bartenders were quick and the food was fantastic. What I snagged: -House made martini. Very good and not too sweet. -Complementary rolls. Sweet and with a little butter on the side. -Sushi Roll (Forget the name, but VERY good) -Fish tacos. We're a big mess, but flavorful! Highly recommend stopping by if you're flying into the area.

The Grand seafood tower is good for 1-2 people, and it was perfect for us. We really enjoyed the selection of seafood, especially the shrimps and scallops! In addition, we got the sea scallops entree and Chilean sea bass entree. Both were beyond delicious and flavorful, especially the curry notes in the sea scallop dish. The sides were decent, but I would skip them next time. We got Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Lastly, I recommend the Bristol Street cocktail for a light, enjoyable drink. Some things to note: $9 valet after 4pm Loud next to street but not their fault Food comes out fast!

The order: - Battered fish tacos: got 2, they're really big and filling. They give such big hunks of fish and the toppings of cabbage were so crisp and wonderful. The sauce was delightful. Love that I can cover this to my hearts content with whatever is at the salsa bar. I got pickled onions galore and so much green salsa (my fav!). - Gyro taco: I will pass on this. I wanted to try for the deal and see what their Mediterranean food tastes like. I didn't like it in a corn tortilla. I thought the flavors clashed. I ended up just eating the meat to get my moneys worth. - Shrimp ceviche: got it with chips instead of tostada, absolutely the right choice. This was really well prepared. No tomato sauce at all, just the way I prefer. This has LOTS of plump shrimp and it's simply made to allow all the fresh ingredients shine. I def recommend this!! I found my new Tuesday spot

Fresh, flavorful, and such a great spot…read more We came in for lunch and were lucky enough to beat the rush. There are so many things on the menu that looked amazing, so it was hard to decide what to order. We went with the grilled shrimp entrée and the whitefish entrée, and both were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The entrées came with roasted vegetables and a side salad, and we opted for rice as well. Everything was nicely prepared and made for a satisfying meal that still felt light and healthy. My only personal preference would be to go a little lighter on the sauce over the shrimp. It was a bit heavier than I prefer, but the shrimp itself was fantastic. The salsa bar was delicious and had a great variety to choose from. And naturally, I had to add the baklava for something sweet after the meal. It was a lovely way to finish. The service was phenomenal. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really added to the experience. There's clearly a lot to explore here, and I'm already planning what I'm ordering next. Definitely a new favorite.

We sat outside which we like because it's a little quieter. Love this place!!

I highly recommend dining here as a date as it gives a nice and classy vibe. I learned that their menu changes each season, hence the name of the restaurant, so we do plan to come back and visit each season to try out new dishes.

The meat was so chewy and slightly gamey. As I got to the bottom of the dish, there was chunky soy sauce piled onto the fries and the taste was so unappealing. Even the green sauce was weird and overly spicy. It lacked the flavor it usually has. I would never leave this dish unfinished, otherwise. This had to be an off day. I just felt so disappointed and robbed of my money. It was truly awful... All other times I've had this dish were 10/10 experiences. And the green sauce is to die for!!
