Not a good experience at all. I ordered strip loin steak…read more BNo baked potato. Half the plate was taken up by a swirl of sweet potato which I did not order. The presentation tried to be artsy but failed miserably. Too much grizzle and fat on the steak. When I did eat a steak only piece it was good. But not med rare. Closer to blue. I ordered a lemonade. When the waitress served my steak she did not notice my empty glass and I had to ask another waiter to bring a refill. For the rating this restaurant had on Yelp, it was totally undeserved.

We were greeted by incredibly friendly staff, ordered drinks that arrived promptly to catch the last glimpse of the sunset on their beautiful balcony. All the courses of dinner were excellent - clearly fresh, local ingredients prepared beautifully. Each dish was complex yet straightforward and unpretentious - something you'd expect and are familiar with, but made with care and great ingredients. We loved that the chef wasn't trying too hard just for the sake of complexity, as we have experienced at many other tasting menus. We enjoyed our time from start to finish! When you go, just arrive early before the reservation time to enjoy a drink on the deck before the sun sets!

We called ahead and were told we'd get 7 good size pieces of fish and fries.

So, $40.00 lighter and 2.5 fishballs and 15 chips later we were forced to crank up the grill and cook a pizza. Not at all the evening we planned and needless to say we won't be returning.
