    We arrived at our reservation time (for 4) and were seated Sunday afternoon. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The staff were all friendly. We had Brussel Sprouts (without the bacon) for our appetizer and was delicious. Food was good - although we had to wait a bit for our meals. Coffee was also great. Karaoke was fun and entertaining!

    What an amazing experience! Ari set the stage for a wonderful evening from when I first walked up to the host stand. I realized I booked an indoor table and it was so beautiful out, she accommodated my girlfriend and I to a top level terrace corner table! Danielle continued the ambiance of exceptional service throughout our meal! Thanks ladies, we had a blast!

    Seated outside was great (our choice) because of the weather. But, on the street, the noise from traffic isn't great. Inside is worse. However, the tables could be a bit larger. The food is always good. We've been there several times. I feel like I was back in France.

    What a great dining experience! From the minute we entered to the minute we left, service was impeccable, almost to a fault. My husband and I have potentially the most annoying combination of food allergies, and they did a lot of research to ensure we were not going to be compromised. Monica, our server, was so attentive and genuine and gave us some great recommendations. Ultimately, we had the scallops and the special, which was an American snapper. Both were perfectly cooked and very lightly seasoned so as not to cover up the seafood flavors. My husband even ate and enjoyed the veggies, which is highly unusual for him. Don't leave without trying the Monica's cornbread. So delicious! The wine list was stacked with wines that complement the menu, and the beer list contained the elusive North Coast Scrimshaw, which made our experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance is fully MCM, which I love! The noise level did increase as the evening went on, but we could still carry on a conversation. You also can't beat the location right across the water. All told, this was a fabulous dining experience, and we will be back soon!

    We brought our friends who were visiting from Canada and we can’t say enough about the amazing food, service & entertainment. It was a perfect evening. The 2 people who ordered the pistachio crusted grouper was probably the best meal they had ever eaten! The musician that played that evening was wonderful and a nice touch. We would have bought his CD but we don’t have a player. Great job
