An absolutely delicious meal, so pleased we returned and tried the new menu under the new owner and chef. Menu is seasonal (which I love!), we had, salt and pepper calamari and pumpkin flowers for entrees. Rib and a pasta dish (with the most amazing sauce) for main. And several desserts. Every meal was presented beautifully and tasted devine! The location, that view by the water and the restaurant's atheistic is stunning! I'll be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
