We gathered here for a Christmas celebration. We were welcomed in right away. The atmosphere was great. A little loud but that is expected in the holidays. The clam chowder was served nice and warm and was delicious. Their bread was good. Their sea bass is not to be missed. Their lobster risotto was excellent. Their Halibut was very fresh. It appears that this restaurant prides themselves on fresh ingredients and it shows through their food. The owner checked on us during our dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for such a great evening. We will return.
