    Tje food and service was great. Ambience amazing with that beautiful view and December weather. My only complain with be the $30 charge for two scallops on our sea bass order. Way to much and the server never advise about it. In nothing about been cheap but the charge was outrageous and destroyed the whole experience. I think they have to be upfront with the extra menu charges and let the customers decide. Besides that I highly recommend this place for an special occasion

Our server came to us provided us with water and took our chose of drinks and explained certain dishes we had questions on, we ordered and appetizer came to our table at a reasonable time, we then ordered our entrees and food also came out at a reasonable time, our food was fresh and tasty. Took a walk inside this place is a gem, if your looking for a nice night out this is a place you should definitely try, looking forward on doing brunch one weekend.
