The only reason I gave service a 4 is because the kitchen struggled delivering our food at the same time. We had to wait 6-8 min for one of our guests to get his main course while others were waiting to dig in. Same thing happened with our cocktails

The food was amazing, came out quickly, and the portions were pretty big! We had the salmon and crab cake - both fantastic. The cheeseburger on the kid's menu can definitely pass for an adult burger, lol! Our servers were amazing and gave us complimentary macaroons and a complimentary gift card for my birthday. We'll definitely be back.

We really like your restaurant. However you advertise being a seafood restaurant and the number of actual fish options are very limited. The fish we had was excellent but we would love a bigger variety.
