    In on word, ‘wow!’ Everything was perfect, from the moment we walked in to the drinks, appetizers, main courses and dessert. Loved you could add one scallop to the main course or the king crab Mac on top of the sea bass. Food literally melts in your mouth. Service with Anna was top notch! Can’t wait to return.

    Wasn’t expecting much as it’s a new highly anticipated concept in a very competitive market but I was blown away by the food, service, decor and ambiance. Well done all around. Clear elements of proper training, well curated menu that is not overdone - simple and approachable with an emphasis on quality and flavor. Staff is professional- refined dining experience without the stuffiness. Decor is top notch- felt like an elevated beach house in the desert. Consistency will need to be the name of the game from this point forward…can they sustain the same quality in all aspects going forward…not sure but will definitely be back in the hopes it does.

    We had super fun and delicious birthday dinner! Wife has the sea bass and I had the mussels! Both were delicious. Thank you Logan for being a great server. Especially loved his humor when I said, “ I’ve had mussel from all over the world and he quickly replied….we just get ours right out of the canal”. Anyway, great food, service and fun. We will be back soon.
