Some items were exceptional; ceviche, bluefin tuna appetizer, roasted yams, ribs, sea bass, pasta with seafood. The misses; focaccia bread for $11!, cioppino was too salty, pork chop sauce was so sweet the flavor of the high quality pork was disguised. Drinks were all very good. Will definitely be back for the scallops and fried sea bream.

Dined on 11/6/24. My husband was with me and my two kids. Our first time there. We ordered the happy hour oysters (12) and an order of the clams & mussels. Both fantastic! All 4 dinner entrees my family ordered were presented beautifully. Big portions and great flavor. Service was great. Many servers tended to us. Water never went dry. Enjoyed our experience. We will return.
